Former Telecom Minister A. Raja said it has become difficult for the department to continue with its services and postal employees are at crossroads and suffering inability as there is no work here on Friday.
Raja appealed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remove the postal department from the essential services as all modes of transport have been stopped during the 21-day coronavirus lockdown and there is no work for its employees.
Prime Minister Modi on Monday announced the 21-day nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Thereafter, the Ministry of Home Affairs came out with a list of essential services that will remain operational during the lockdown, which include post offices.
