Summary:
I drove 15kms to the post office in Surajpur, only to find out that my passport is at the Bisrakh Post Office. However, using a rural PIN code for an urban settlement creates another set of issues, “If we put the PIN code of the nearby village, the delivery reaches the village and gets lost there. There have been some cases where there have been troubles in the package reaching our post office, but once it is here, we deliver it to the designated houses,” said Manoj Kumar, postmaster at Bisrakh Post Office. This until a new post office is constructed, which has been proposed for financial year 2018-19. Sector 1 residents have been asked to use the PIN code of the village (201306) by the postal authorities..
