Nawada: The role of central government's Department of Posts - India Post - has become more significant ever since coronavirus-induced lockdown was imposed and people, especially the ones living in rural areas of the country, expecting the postman of their locality to not only deliver their letters and parcels but lifesaving medicines and funds as well.
The postal department has created history in the district by distributing subsidy of rupees one crore to beneficiaries here in a single day during the lockdown. The India Post has also proved a life saver for many by delivering medicines and funds to their doorsteps as people were not allowed go out.
