The Telangana Postal Circle on Tuesday announced the launch of Dak Parcel Mahotsav, a four-month initiative aimed at simplifying the process of sending domestic and international parcels during the festive season. The initiative, also known as Jashn-e-Dak, runs until January 15, 2025, and coincides with major festivals including Dasara, Deepavali, Christmas, and Sankranthi.
The 6,268 post offices in Telangana have introduced dedicated parcel counters at all head post offices, along with extended working hours and parcel pick-up services via the POST INFO app or beat postmen. The initiative also includes 46 franchise outlets and 1,036 common service centre village-level entrepreneurs who will facilitate Speed Post and Registered Parcels.
To ensure secure packaging and smooth exports, 31 Parcel Packaging Units and 38 Dak Ghar Niryat Kendras (DNKs) have been established, with a focus on supporting small businesses, artisans, and MSMEs. For faster parcel deliveries, 37 direct flights have been identified to various cities across the country. Additionally, 13 foreign countries are connected by direct flights to ensure faster delivery of parcels.
