Technical glitch disrupts services in post offices across Odisha

BHUBANESWAR: A technical glitch in online transactions has reportedly disrupted services in the post offices across Odisha causing serious inconvenience to people. Sources said the post offices including the office of the Chief Post Master General in Bhubaneswar have been facing the problem of ‘link failure’ for the last three days leading to disruption in carrying out financial transactions. With a large number of people depending on postal services including insurance and small savings, the technical glitch has affected transactions including deposits and withdrawals under different schemes. A postal account holder in the city said the government must take immediate measures for the restoration of the services as many people, especially those from far-flung areas coming to the post offices, are facing inconvenience due to the glitches.
