Law to streamline courier service soon

Union Minister for Communications and IT, A Raja, on Monday said steps would be taken to bring about an amen dment to streamline private courier service in the larger interest of the common people.
At a meeting after inaugurating the modernised Mettupalayam Post Office under Project Arrow at Mettupalayam, near here, he said the delay and deficiencies in the delivery of letters and parcels by the private couriers would affect the common people. At present, there was no immediate relief for the delayed delivery and deficiency, he said. Hence, there was a need to streamline the courier service, he said.
Pointing out that India Post was incurring an annual loss of Rs 600 crore, Raja said the unutilised lands of postal department would be used for commercial purposes to earn income to offset the loss.
