Bihar Police and the Postal Department collaborate to exchange records and correspondence

Soon, the Bihar Police will no longer use its long-standing messenger service to send and receive letters and office papers between its various units. Rather, the postal department will be used to deliver mail from police stations to district offices and state headquarters in a timely and hassle-free manner.

The Bihar postal circle and the Bihar Police have inked an agreement for the quicker and more effective transportation of office papers from almost 7,000 police stations to the relevant district headquarters using speed posts, according to Chief Post Master General (CPMG) of Bihar Anil Kumar, who made the announcement on Friday. After taking over as the new CPMG earlier this month, Kumar stated, “We are mapping the police stations for receiving and delivering the posts from across the state.”

The state is home to almost 9,000 post offices.

According to a senior postal department official, the district police headquarters and police stations in Bihar exchange over 2.50 lakh office documents or letters annually, spending about ₹6 crore on this activity. “Letter delivery costs will be reduced to almost ₹1 crore. If the same number of items are exchanged, it will cost about ₹75 lakh, according to the CPMG, assuming the postal service charges ₹30 for each item delivered via expedited post.

According to a senior police officer, the agreement would significantly increase departmental efficiency because police stations would not be able to delay the supply of information to district authorities. “Most often, police stations notify senior officers at state headquarters or district offices late on many contentious issues, citing abnormally long times for messengers to deliver the letters,” the officer stated.

According to Kumar, a nodal person will be in charge of making sure that letters are delivered on time from police stations to district offices and state police headquarters, and vice versa. The nodal officer will also handle the monthly payment for the services rendered.
