Postal Service at Chinchinim The Senior Superintendent of Post Office, Mapusa, Goa Region was contacted by registered post by the Postal Committee 2 years back. Since then vacancy for the existing post remains unfilled. Not surprisingly sheer arrogance of the authority refused even to acknowledge it .The telephone message is not accepted too. There are long serpentine Q`s with senior citizens put to great inconvenience, To make matters worse, one of the clerk is sent on frequent deputation to other post offices for weeks together or some training .It means that Post master is saddled to handle issuing of stamps, stationery, registration , deposits, pay outs, telephone bills besides his regular administrative routine The customers get irritated with frayed tempers due long delays in service besides break down of the electronic system It is to be noted that Chinchinim Post Office has deposits of about 80 crores almost double in comparison to Navelim, Cuncolim Quepem, Canacona, to mention a few examples Hence the large customer base need better considerations There t is a compliment of at least two staff members in the above post offices at any time .This is insensitivity of taking for granted the genuine needs of customers will soon burst out into violent protests as the authorities are alone responsible for this festering situation too long and limits to patience Neson Lopes Chinchinim Postal committee member
