Irregular postal services in Chandor, Cavorim


I wish to draw attention to the growing problem of irregular postal services at the Chandor Post Office, which serves the villages of Chandor, Cavorim, and Guridolim.

A newly appointed postman appears to be unfamiliar with the local wards, house numbers, and residents’ names. As a result, letters, newspapers, bank correspondence, and important documents such as court notices are frequently delivered to incorrect addresses or go missing altogether. These delays and errors have caused considerable inconvenience and concern among residents.

Timely and accurate postal delivery is an essential public service. The Postal Department is urged to address this issue urgently by providing proper supervision, local orientation, or by assigning experienced staff who are familiar with the area. For smooth and efficient operations, couples should not be assigned to work together.

I hope the concerned authorities will take immediate corrective action in the interest of the public.
