‘Urgent’ mail delivered in Pakistan after two decades
March 10th, 2011 - 5:12 pm ICT by ANIIslamabad, Mar 10(ANI): An ‘urgent’ mail sent from Toba Tek Singh town in Pakistan’s Punjab province to Karachi in 1991 has finally been delivered after two decades.
The mail, which was sent from a local post office in Toba Tek Singh, reached recipient Rafiq Chishti’s residence on Wednesday, the Dawn reports.
Chishti said his parents had sent his academic certificates to him in Karachi in 1991, as he was studying there in a seminary and needed the documents to apply for a job.
The documents were posted to him through the Urgent Mail Service, a postal department service meant for quicker delivery of mails.
However, the mail was never delivered to him, though he repeatedly contacted the GPO Karachi and raised the matter with them, Chishti added.
He said he also complained to the Chief Minister Secretariat in Karachi, but to no avail.
Chishti said the present occupant of his Karachi residence informed him on Wednesday that his mail had finally been delivered. (ANI)
