The Regional Passport Office said the centre will now operate from GM Tech Park near Nallurahalli Metro Station in the EPIP Zone. Applicants who have already booked appointments at the Marathahalli PSK must visit the new address on their scheduled date and time. No changes to appointments have been announced. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The relocation shifts a high-volume passport centre from Outer Ring Road to the Whitefield EPIP zone, which is closer to the Metro and industrial corridors. Residents who relied on the old Marathahalli location will now have to travel further east. The RPO has not said whether additional centres will be opened to compensate for the closure. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Straight factual announcement of a location change This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
