TALKING about its `quick` service, the Pakistan Post website guarantees `delivery and information at lightning speed`. I sent a registered letter while using Pakistan Post with international tracking No.
RR210014024BH from Bahrain.
It reached the international mail office in Karachi on July 29 at 5.05am. Three days later, on July 31, at 3.43pm, it was put in the domestic mail bag meant for the relevant branch of a local bank. The letter has still notreachedthe saidbranch.Itisperhaps still lying at the international mail office.
We, the masses, are as usual misled by catchy slogans and unsubstantiated claims of revolutionised and reformed service.
The fact is that the department has only raised the charges against its various services, like increasing charges from Rs8 to Rs20 for an inland letter. That is the only `revolution` at Pakistan Post.
