Punjab Post Offices Go Dark: Digital Upgrade Shuts Services for Two Days
Post offices across Chandigarh and Punjab will remain closed for public services on August 2nd and 3rd. This temporary closure is to pave the way for the launch of a new digital platform, Automated Postal Tracking (APT), on August 4th.
The nationwide rollout of APT aims to modernise postal services and enhance efficiency. The two-day shutdown is crucial for the seamless integration of this new system across all Punjab post offices.
This digital overhaul promises faster delivery tracking and improved customer service. However, the closure will inevitably cause inconvenience to citizens relying on postal services during this period.
The Department of Posts has urged the public to plan accordingly and make alternative arrangements for their postal needs during the closure. The successful implementation of APT is expected to bring significant long-term benefits, streamlining postal operations and improving service delivery across the state. The impact on the upcoming festive season, with its increased postal activity, remains to be seen.
