Moving on these lines, we started Twitter Sewa on August 2 and now we have issued a toll free number 1924 to address postal complaints,” Communications Minister Manoj Sinha said after inaugurating the service.
The service will be operational initially for 12 hours on working days between 0800 hrs to 2000 hrs.
Sinha said the complaints will be addressed in 24 hours unless they are related to policy matters.
He said the Department of Posts (DoP) is 8th largest department in terms of number of complaints received.
The DoP will set up a nodal officer in all postal circles who will handle public complaints.
The complaints received on the toll free number would be registered in Computerised Customer Care (CCC) Centre portal by the operators at the Dak Bhawan and the 11 digit ticket number would be provided to the complainants.
If the complaint is already registered, the complainant would be informed about the status as viewed in CCC portal.
