"The PSLK in Siliguri will be inaugurated on April 18. We are taking all necessary arrangements so that it starts working in a full-fledged manner from the first day," Bibhuti Bhusan Kumar, the regional passport officer of Calcutta, told Metro over the phone from Calcutta.
While the complete task of processing passport applications will be conducted at the Matigara centre, the passports will be issued from Calcutta.

"Initially, the number of appointments allowed per day will be around 100. In due course, we will revise the number depending on the inflow of applications," an official said.
At present, north Bengal residents travel to Calcutta, Behrampore or Gangtok to get their passports done or to renew old passports.
Samrat Sanyal, the president of the Eastern Himalaya Travel and Tour Operators' Association, said: "There are many people in this region who want to go on foreign trips but feel discouraged as they have to travel to Calcutta or Gangtok for passports. But after the launch of the PSLK, the number of travellers going abroad from north Bengal will increase."
