Imphal, September 19, 2009:
The Postal Department's desperate drive to rejuvenate their prominence among the masses finally stands-tall in the State as the first 'Project Arrow' Post Office was inaugurated here yesterday.
M Iawphniaw, the Post Master General NE Circle while addressing a handful of gathering, moments after formally inaugurating the post office here said, 'I want this Post Office to be a happening place'.
The post offices of the Postal Department with its diverse advantages belong to the people.
The purpose of the Post Office is to benefit the people, and if they don't get the benefit then we are not fit to be there, she said.
Fully computerized and linked to the postal network, and wearing a totally new look, the revamped post office here is expected to attract more customers not just for mail but also for the allied services being offered.
The Postal Department has many schemes that are meant to be very friendly with the poor, but the degree of awareness among the masses are still modest.
And the department has promise to look into this void with the launching of its PA's first postal office.
