SRINAGAR, Oct 15: The Jammu & Kashmir Circle of Postal department is going to computerize all the post offices in the state by the end of the next year. The department is also going to install Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at 13 important post offices of the state.
Addressing a press conference here today, Chief Post Master General (CPMG) Jammu & Kashmir Circle, Chandra Prakash said that there are 1450 post offices in the state. He said that since the computerization of the post offices has already been started, the process of computerization including that of rural post offices would be completed by December 2016. The press conference was organized in connection with National Postal Week that culminated today.
"The Postal Department is committed and ready to provide latest technology based services to its customers and the general public. The dearth of staff in the post offices in the state would be overcome soon as 142 persons would be joining the postal services department by the end of the next month," said CPMG.

He said that India Post has been serving every nook and corner of the country for the last 150 years through its vast network of over 1,55,000 post offices, which is the largest in the world.
"Services of post offices are being modernized and computerized booking of mails and track and trace service for Speed Post, registered letters, parcels and money orders have been arranged. Electronic Money Order facility has also been provided in all the post offices, he added. By December 2015, all the departmental post offices will have core banking services. ATM machines will also be provided at 13 post offices which will start functioning within three to four months," said CPMG.
Prakash said that Postal Life Insurance and Rural Postal Life Insurance will also migrate to Central Server based working by December 2015. Referring to delay in the recruitment of staff in post offices in the state he said there were some discrepancies in the selection list.
"A committee was formed to look into these discrepancies since we wanted that all the things are done in a transparent manner.

Following this there would be no dearth of staff in post offices in Jammu & Kashmir," said CPMG. |
