Sub:- Supply of  letter and parcel bomb detectors to post offices – Request regarding

Sir,
It is aware to one and all that during the current month, all  local dailies are continuously touching the headlines of delivering letters / parcels through posts to VIPs containing detonators. On 13th of this month, one such letter was delivered to the Chief Election Commissioner, Odisha, Bhubaneswar and subsequently now on 20th instant to the Chief Secretary, Govt. of Odisha , Bhubaneswar. The police has already started inquiry lodging FIR in the local police station.
Since the parcels / letters are booked / delivered in/through our post offices, it is certainly  a matter of serious concern for the lives of  the employees and properties of India Post. Until the police establishes the fact and take action against the accused, it has now been a challenge for the postal employees who are involved in booking, transmitting and delivering the letters/parcels without required  devices / machines to detect the contents with explosives etc.
It is worth mentioning here that the staff members of Bhubaneswar Division have not yet forgotten the unfortunate parcel bomb explosion in Suryanagar NDT SO, Bhubaneswar – 751 003 on January 3, 2002, the first of its kind  giving serious injuries to Sri Pranabananda Dash, Ex-PA throughout his body who could be able to save his life narrowly with a struggle of nearly three years continuously and lastly  losing his right palm and making non-functional his left leg below the knee.
Under the circumstances, it is requested to kindly arrange supply of letter and parcel bomb detectors to all post offices without delay to save the lives of the employees and protect the properties of India Post as well.
A  line of reply on the action taken is highly solicited.
With regards.
Yours faithfully,

( B  SAMAL)
