Shortage of postal orders at

Nurmahal post office worries residents

NURMAHAL  29 SEPTEMBER 

Many prospective candidates planning to appear in competitive examinations or applying for government jobs fear losing out on the opportunity, as postal orders used to pay the application fee are not available at the Nurmahal post office.

 Postal orders of Rs 10 and Rs 20 and other denominations have been out of stock for the past few weeks. Postal orders are used to deposit the fee for applying for a government job, or to pay the application-cum-entrance fee for competitive examinations, and to pay the fee for applications filed under the Right to Information Act

Concerned post office employees said that requests have been sent to the head office for postal orders, which are being awaited. Postal orders are printed at the Nasik Security Printing Press. The central store of the Punjab circle of the postal department is in Ludhiana.
