The department of Posts has launched an initiative to deliver parcels through the nodal delivery centres (NDC) at the Head Post Offices to ensure last mile delivery at the doorstep of the customers. A Nodal Delivery Centre was inaugurated at Vellore Head Post Office on Wednesday, which would enable the parcels of Vellore Head Post Office, Thorapadi Sub Post Office and Vellore Fort Sub Post Office ro be delivered by a dedicated delivery post man. Effective and efficient delivery of parcels at door step of customer was one of the biggest challenges faced by the Department of Posts. This necessiated a need to separate parcel delivery from regular delivery in those areas where number of parcels delivered are high. The NDC was inaugurated by Superintendent of Post Offices, Vellore Division, P. Komal Kumar, amidst the hosts of postal department officials and general public.
