Raipur, August 17, 2024: Silk threads have dwarfed the virtual Rakhis running on social media.
Sisters are preferring to send colorful Rakhis by post offices to their brothers. Department of Posts has also made all necessary arrangements for this, sources in the Ministry of Communications said today.
Special arrangements have been made for delivery of rakhis on even Sunday, a day before Raksha Bandhan, so that no brother’s wrists are left untouched.

Rakhi’s craze is also very much outside the country. Officials said Rakhis are being sent from Post offices to foreign countries by speed post and registered post.
Most of these Rakhis have been sent to countries like USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada, Russia, UAE, Germany, Japan, China etc.
At the same time, sisters living abroad are also sending Rakhis to their beloved brothers which are being delivered immediately through the post offices, they said.
Sisters are sending the Rakhis well in advance for abroad, so that their Rakhis reach the brothers at the right time and their wrists do not remain deserted.

Post Department officials said special arrangements have been made for booking and sorting of Rakhi mails and their speedy delivery from post offices including Railway Mail Service and National Sorting Hub.
Spreading happiness through letters, the Department of Posts has also taken this relationship to new heights, they added.
