Dear Comrades,
|
New operational arrangements,
The
existing mail offices have been classified into Level 1 (L-1) and
Level 2 (L-2) mail offices. There would be 89 L-1 and 244 L-2 mail
offices under the new set up
|
|
All
L-1 mail offices will close direct bags for each other. An L-1
office will also close bags for all L-2 offices as well as delivery
post offices mapped/attached to it
|
|
All
L-2 offices attached/mapped to it an L-1 office can close bags for
that particular office. An L-2 office may also close bags for all
other L-2 offices mapped to the same L-1 office if the need be. It
will also close bags for all delivery post offices mapped to it.
|
|
An
L-2 mail office would not close bags for any other L-1 office to
which it is not mapped. Similarly an L-2 office will not close bags
for any other L-2 office which is not mapped to the same L-1 office.
However, there may be a situation where an L-2 office may require
closing bags for an L-1 or L-2 office falling in the same circle or
neighboring circle for transmission advantage. Circles should try to
keep this number to the bare minimum to the extent possible. In all
such exceptional cases, the circle concerned should furnish the list of
such offices and destinations for which bag closing is required and
seek approval of the Directorate.

Post
Offices would prepare two kinds of bags (separate for unregistered
and registered mail) for their parent mail office (L-1 or L-2 as the
case may be), which would be as follows.
|
|
A bag containing TD mail to be delivered by post offices mapped to the same parent mail office (for unregistered mail)
|
|
A bag containing non-TD (NTD) i.e. all mail other than TD , to be
delivered by post offices not mapped to the same parent mail office
(for unregistered mail)
|
|
A bag containing TD mail to be delivered by the post offices mapped to the same parent mail office ( for registered mail).
|
|
A
bag containing non-TD (NTD) mail, i.e. all mail other than TD, to be
delivered by post offices no mapped to the same parent mail office (
for registered mail)
|
|
Post
Offices would continue to retain station article i.e. articles to be
delivered from the same post office in case of both unregistered and
registered articles
|
|
The new operational network would come into effect from 15th February, 2012.
