Postcards
rejected by Ahmedabad Post Offices
I
am sharing here some postcards and covers shared by Mr Shrikant Parikh an
active post crosser. from Ahmedabad. These
postcards and envelopes were sent by him to overseas postcrossers. The standard
airmail rate from India to any country for the International Postcard is Rs 15.
But he put stamps of Rs 25 for the postage on the postcards. It is surprising
to note that the Post office rejected the postcards and send them back to the
sender. It happened in 2 post offices ( GPO Ahmedabad and Navrangpura of
Ahmedabad. But it is interesting to note that some of the postcards which were rejected by Ahmedabad post offices,
were recently reposted from Dehradun and
the postcards reached their destinations.
It seems that the staff appointed at these
post offices is untrained and not aware of the international mail. The higher authorities
of India Post must look into this matter and take proper action.
The following points are to be noted
regarding these rejected Post cards and covers :
1. All the postcards were sent back to Mr Parikh, without any
remark why were the cards returned as
all the postcards had proper postage required for International Postcard.
In
our country there are many postcrossers in different cities and send covers and
postcards to philatelists all over the world. But never faced such problem.
