To cater to the festive rush , the Department of Posts is offering specially designed waterproof envelopes for Rs 10 each at every post office. Additionally, the ‘Postinfo’ app allows customers to request doorstep services for added convenience.
“The volume of rakhi envelopes and gifts keeps rising every year. We have made special arrangements to ensure timely delivery ,” says Surekh Reghunathen, director of postal services (HQ) of Gujarat postal circle.
