Pakistan Resumes Postal Mail Services With India, Lifts Ban On Delivery Of Letters After Over Two Months 

More than two months after unilaterally stopping postal services to India, Pakistan has resumed the mail services and lifted a ban on delivery of letters, ANI has reported quoting Pakistani Media.

According to the report, the parcel services, however, still remain banned.

The Pakistani government had unilaterally stopped postal services with India in August after New Delhi modified the Article 370 of the Constitution, stripping the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir of its special status, and bifurcated the state into two union territories.

Following Pakistan’s shutting postal services to India, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on 21 October had slammed Islamabad for the move.

"Every country works under the world postal union. But Pakistan is Pakistan. Pakistan has shut postal services (delivery of Indian letters) for the last two months,” Prasad said at an event in New Delhi.

"Pakistan has stopped Indian letters without any prior information or notice to our country," he added.

The minister said that the move by Pakistan is directly in contravention of the world postal union norms.
