Rlys asked to open ticket counters at post offices

Encouraged by good revenue collection through booking of railway tickets at the head post office at Aska in Orissa’s Ganjam district, the postal authorities have proposed to the Railways to provide such facilities in 10 more post offices in southern Orissa.

“The railway ticket booking at Aska post office is functioning very well. We’ve given a proposal to the Railways to open such centres in other places in southern Orissa,” Post Master General, Berhampur Region, S K Kamila said.

The proposed places were Berhampur, Bhanjanagar, Polasara and Gopalpur, Phulbani, Boudh, Damanjodi, Khariar and Nabarangapur. The decision would be taken after a discussion with the Railways and the postal department.
