The Alappuzha Head Post Office (HPO), which was modernised under the Postal Department’s Project Arrow, was dedicated to the public recently.
K.C. Venugopal, MP, dedicating the modernised HPO, said conventional post, no matter what advances were ushered in by information technology, would continue to be the common man’s mode of communication. It was a matter of pride that the Alappuzha HPO was the first to be dedicated to the public from among the post offices modernised under Project Arrow.
Lauding the Postal Department, Mr. Venugopal also said a special postage stamp on Alappuzha’s famed kettuvallams, would be released before the next edition of the Nehru Trophy Boat Race.
Shobha Koshy, Chief Post Master General, Kerala Circle, talking on Project Arrow, said ATM and core banking facilities would be introduced in the Alappuzha HPO shortly as part of improving the savings bank facilities provided at the centre.
