KATHMANDU, Oct 9: Minister for Communications and Information Technology Rekha Sharma has said that the government plans to implement the 'One Municipality, One Post Office' concept from the current fiscal year itself as part of restructuring the postal service. 

Addressing a programme organized at the General Post Office, Dillibazar on the occasion of the World Post Day on Monday, the Communication and Information Technology Minister said the country's postal service is to be restructured in line with the federal system by connecting the service to information technology.

"The postal service which remains as an essential public service is running with a service-oriented motive. Although it has its services spread across the country, it is not possible to make it effective as it is operating in a traditional manner," she said, adding that the government's goal is to make the postal service advanced, reliable and competitive by bringing extensive reforms in it.

Minister Sharma also expressed the commitment to enhance collaboration at the national and international levels for establishing Nepal's standing as an active member state in the global postal network. She added that to achieve this goal, the government will enhance the capacity of the employees of postal service as well as technology and physical infrastructure, and coordination will be established with the stakeholders as well.  

Director-General of the Department of Postal Service, Pradip Raj Adhikari said they are eager to move ahead with the timely restructuring of the postal service with the realization that the service could not be run in a traditional way.

Individuals making contributions to the postal service and employees serving for long were honored on the occasion. The theme of the World Post Day this year is - “Together for Trust: Collaborating for a Safe and Connected Future.”
