Islamabad: World Post Day is being celebrated today across the world, including Pakistan, with the aim of creating awareness and awareness about the postal system, its services and social importance.
In the current era of modern technology, mobile phones, courier services and email have certainly reduced the importance of the traditional postal system, but even today the role of post offices in the transfer of money, utility bills and collection of revenues is fundamental.
According to experts, World Post Day reminds us of the era when distances were shorter and the bonds of hearts were stronger with a single letter of paper. Letters were not only a means of conveying news but were also considered the best means of expressing feelings.
In the early days of Pakistan, British-era stamps were used in the country, but over time, the Pakistan Postal Department has issued more than 1,300 stamps of different denominations to commemorate various historical, national and cultural occasions.
According to the Postal Department, even today, millions of citizens across the country are benefiting from the services of post offices, which are not only a national heritage but also serve as important public service institutions.
