Move over khaki-bag carrying postman! Palmtop postman is here! Tortuous postal procedures would now be as easy as soft-pressing the palmtop keyboard. In a novel initiative, the Vijayawada postal region has made the labyrinthine procedures of rural postal insurance look like a child's play. The postal insurance policy documents, which usually take no less than a fortnight to get processed, would now be available in 48 hours. As per this scheme, introduced in Eluru of West Godavari district a fortnight ago, the postal personal are carrying palmtops armed with special quickly quick software to the remote villages, where the relevant data pertaining to the prospective rural customer is fed. The data would then be transmitted online to the head post office, which will immediately issue the insurance policy document.
