The problem with Pakistan Post

Author:

Sir: Pakistan Post has a huge bureaucracy behind it, which is presided over by a minister assisted by the chairman of the board, a secretary and a managing director. What is it with this white elephant’s performance? A package bearing number 30180870 started its journey from the general post office in Islamabad on January 11, 2013 (Friday) and took a week to reach its destination in Zone V, Sector O-9 in Islamabad on January 18 (also a Friday). This is the state of the Pakistan Post for quick and safe delivery of letters. What about the ordinary mail service? This explains why people prefer comparatively costly private courier services. Maybe the Pakistan Post is helping the private sector this way.
