Delayed Speed Post delivery resented
The Thanjai District Rural Consumer Protection Movement has resented delays in delivery of Speed Post articles booked in Kumbakonam.
In a petition submitted at the Postal Grievance Meeting held at Tiruchi on April 22, the Swamimalai-based organisation said that Speed Post articles booked at the post offices in the Kumbakonam region were not delivered the next day. It took not less than three days to get delivered at the destination address, particularly in Chennai, Coimbatore and Kanyakumari.
Urging the Postal Department to ensure the Speed Post article delivery the next day from the date of booking, the consumer body urged the department to make sure that the postal services offered at the post offices were not affected due to power outage reasons. It also demanded remodelling and augmentation of counters at the post offices where the volume of visitors were high.
