Indian Post/ Kharghar Division
Long delayed delivery in Khargha

I would like to highlight the following postal related problems posted at Kharghar :

1. There is no delivery date stamp on all the letters/ documents that we receive in Kharghar

2. Letters are delivered in a lot once in 3/4 weeks

There have been instances which are consistent in nature with regards to delayed delivery as follows:

1. One of our relatives posted letter at Belgaum on 22- February which was delivered to me on 19-Mar.

2. The other one posted from Gadhinglaj in District Kolhapur on 22-February is yet to be delivered.

3. I had subscribed to Businessworld which is a weekly magazine. You would appreciate that since this is a weekly magazine receiving these magazines on proper time is crucial. Otherwise if one receives magazines after 2-3 weeks, there is no relevance. You can see from the following instances the irregularities:

a. The first two Business world magazines were delivered in December 07 after a delay of 8 days

b. In January/ February, I received the magazines in a lot of 3. Unfortunately, I don’t have the evidences for the same.

c. The magazine posted on 05th March was delivered on 19thMar. Magazines posted on 08-Mar, 15-mar & 24 Mar were delivered in one lot on 01st April. The proofs of the same have been delivered to Mumbai GPO.

d. Magazine posted on 31-Mar was delivered on 30-April-08

I would like to highlight that the magazines posted on Monday in Mumbai gets delivered to my native place Gadhinglaj (Dist kolhapur) which is at a distance of > 400 kms from Mumbai in less than 2 days.

Now Businessworld has stopped sending me magazines by post & instead they have started by sending through local courier

I received three documents on 08-May as follows:

• Posted at Hyderabad on 20-MAr-08

• Posted at Chennai on 22-Mar-08

• Posted at Mumbai on 20-Apr-08

The first one was related to Reliance Power Limited shares & I was supposed to revert back to them by 20th April whereas I received the document on 08-May.

I had earlier also mentioned in various telephonic conversations with the concerned ones that documents posted at Mumbai reach my native place in Kolhapur (PIN 416502) within 2 days whereas it takes more than 3-4 weeks for Kharghar post office to deliver in Kharghar Navi Mumbai

This is ridiculous & at times frustrating.
