‘Re-shift Parra post office from Mapusa’

Panaji: Inconvenienced with the commute from Parra to Mapusa to avail postal services, residents of Parra have called for the shifting of the post office back to their village. In a letter to Narasimha Swamy, senior superintendent of post offices, Goa division, Goa consumer action network (Goacan) has called for his immediate intervention to facilitate the shifting at its earlier location at the Panchayat Ghar of the village.
Due to the reconstruction of the Parra panchayat building, the post office was first shifted to a house in Canca, and as there was no proper internet connectivity, it was then shifted to the first floor of the Mapusa post office building.
Although the reconstructed Panchayat Ghar was inaugurated in November 2020, the post office continued to function in Mapusa. Even the letter box of the Parra post office has been shifted to the first floor of the post office at Mapusa.
