Ministry of Communications launched Monday the India Post Help Centre and a Toll Free Number 1924 to address citizens’ grievances related to Department of Posts.
Inaugurating the Help Centre here, Minister of Communications, Manoj Sinha said that the move comes in the wake of Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi’s PRAGATI (Pro-Active Governance And Timely Implementation) review meetings.
PM Narendra Modi exhorts the ministers to actively address the grievances of the common man by setting up and strengthening public grievance redressal mechanism.
Sinha said that the Help Centre has been launched in three languages: Hindi, English, and Malayalam, and gradually all regional languages will be included which are mentioned in the schedule of the Indian Constitution.

The Minister stressed that except in the case of policy decisions, all complaints related to postal services will be addressed within 24 hours.
He recalled that last month he had launched “Twitter Sewa” for addressing the complaints and concerns of common man and other stake-holders in the telecom and postal sectors, where on an average 100 complaints are received daily related to postal services.
