need of the hour was for the Department of Posts to think a little out of box.
“The Department of Posts should be ready to meet the three benchmarks –
ensuring delivery of letters (post), money orders and parcels on time. It has
to utilise its wide network for better performance and revenue,’’ Prasad said.
Praising MS Ramanujam, chief post master general, for taking
measures to provide an ATM and other services in Karnataka Postal Circle, the
minister said that the Department of Posts should make an attempt to increase
revenue. “You have done a good job of associating with Department of Tourism
which has agreed to find a sponsor for maintaining the heritage building of
Postal Department on Museum Road,’’ he said.
The following are features of
the ATM service:
