Dear Comrades,
One should be aware of the fact that the closure of a Branch Post Office is not with the mere decision of the Divisional authorities and there are strict guidelines to be followed the action on the subject.
--a public notification should be issued before closure or relocated,
--one month notice to be issued to the users of the PO for any objections/alternatives,
-- there should be a simultaneous relocation of every closed Post Office...
-- a PO proposed to be closed/relocated it should achieve required income norms with in a period of 3 months for reconsideration.
