Srinagar, Nov 1: In a major initiative to improve the Postal Services in Jammu and Kashmir, a new service ‘Home Delivery of parcels up to 8 PM’ was launched today by John Samuel, Chief Postmaster General, J&K.  “It will revolutionize the Postal Services in Srinagar and will benefit the people in a big way,” he said.
 “To help people get parcels on the same day, Post Office is introducing this innovative service, where the parcels will be delivered to the people at their premises through Post Office mail vehicles up to 8 p.m. during all the working days.”  Further, this will also enable to speed up the delivery of parcels received by air through various flights, he said.
