Dear Comrades,
Air passengers can now have a postal stamp made with their own photo while departing the Chennai domestic airport.
India Post has opened a counter at the airport to provide this facility.
Passengers can make their own postal stamp with their photo by paying
Rs 322 for 12 stamps of Rs 5 each. The postal department has such a
facility in all major post offices.
Passengers need to fill up the required proforma at the counter with
identity proof and a recent passport size photo. The twelve photos will
be sent by the postal department to the given address within ten days.
Other facilities available in the counter are Internet browsing, print
out, fax, photo copy, postal identity card and postal life insurance
from 18 years up to 55 years.
The counter was inaugurated by H.S. Suresh, Director, Chennai Airport.
This facility is approachable from the city side as well as from inside
the check-in area of airport for the convenience of both passengers and
visitors, says a press release issued by Airports Authority of Indian,
Chennai Airport.
The facility will be soon extended to the international terminal, too.
