Regarding Downgrading Of Tiruvarur Sorting Office. on 5 December, 2019

SHRI M. SELVARAJ (NAGAPATTINAM): Tiruvarur Sorting has been serving 2 districts of Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam under my constituency. As an all India measure, the Ministry of Telecommunications already implemented PNOP and MNOP systems. in the Department of Posts. According to these new systems, the speed and Parcel articles booked at Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam RMS meant for Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam are sent to Mayiladuthurai RMS for processing and again sent to Tiruvarur for further delivery. It creates unnecessary delay in the delivery process. Because of this my constituency people suffer a lot. Sometimes for a local delivery itself, it takes two days.

On the other hand, it has come to notice that the divisional administration of RMS Trichy, planned to downgrade the Tiruvarur Sorting office by reducing the staff strength and working hours. Now staff is working during nights to deliver the letters, parcels and speed posts to the customers. But the divisional administration planned to make it as a Day Set. This will create unnecessary delay in the delivery of all the letters to the public. Earlier the processed parcels and speed articles from Mayiladuthurai RMS came by midnight. But nowadays they are-sent in the early morning only, this also creates one day delay in the delivery of letters.I urge the Government to take remedial steps in this regard.
