Disheartening move
Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir,
It is disheartening to read about the discontinuation of Registered Post services in India. While merging it with Speed Post may seem efficient, it overlooks the significant role Registered Post has played, particularly for the rural populace.
For decades, it has been a trusted means for sending important documents and goods securely, a lifeline for farmers, small traders, and others in rural areas. The unique security feature of Registered Post, where only the addressee could receive the parcel, was a vital safeguard.
With the increasing shift towards technology, many in rural India, often without reliable internet access, may find this transition difficult and costly. This change will burden them with higher fees and unreliable alternatives, especially when it comes to critical government communications and legal matters.
The government must reconsider this decision and ensure that the needs of the common man, especially in rural regions, are met without compromise.
