Postal Efficiency
Inefficiency of the postal department is one of the chronic and
apparently incurable problems of the administration. The question
is whether all of it is plain inefficiency. Perhaps it is not only
due to incompetence that books and magazines mailed to addresses
almost never reach their destinations. The more high-priced and
marketable a journal is, the less is its chance of being received
by the addressee. These are chronic irritants which were never
seriously dealt with. What is even more disgraceful is that stamps
valued at no more than a few taka are removed from letters, which
forces people to take their letters to the post office for getting
the stamps cancelled in their presence instead of dropping the
letters in the nearest post box.
