Ms. Bharathi also submitted documents for the issue of a diplomatic passport.
Mr. Reddy spent about 20 minutes at the PSK and interacted with the officers before leaving.

The PSK was closed for the rest of the day. It usually remains closed on Saturday and Sunday as per the schedule.
Mr. Reddy was supposed to visit the PSK on Saturday last, but could not make it due to tight schedule.
The diplomatic passport extends certain privileges and official tour status to the holders during foreign tours as per protocol.
A few weeks ago, former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu visited the PSK and surrendered his diplomatic passport and obtained an ordinary passport later.
