Dear Comrades,
People worldwide will now find it easy to get Kashmiri saffron and
dry fruits delivered at their doorsteps through online booking through
an initiative of the Jammu and Kashmir Postal department here.
"Under the scheme 'Gift Post' people around the world can book their
order for Kashmiri saffrons, almonds and dry fruits, through an online
service and the delivery will be done through the postal services
department," Chief Post Master General of Jammu and Kashmir circle John
Samuel told reporters today.
"If a person in London wants to have Kashmiri saffron, he can access
our website, book the order and we will order it from the Srinagar
GPO," he said.
Another scheme 'Expressions' launched for the residents of Srinagar will
enable them to deliver a bouquet, chocolates or a cake to their dear
ones within the city, after booking from the post departments.
"A person can book bouquets or anything else and we will arrange the delivery on a specific date and time," Samuel said.
He said the service is specially meant for birthday and anniversary
events, but can also be used for religious or community events.
Samuel said the postal services department offers a choice of three
types of bouquets costing between Rs 500 to Rs 700 and three varieties
of cakes in this scheme.
