Post office

It’s a granary... it’s a hut... no it’s a post office!

Looks are more than often deceiving, and this post office in Chattogram is proof of that.

Down but not out

This song might give many from our older generation a sense of nostalgia for the days when we used to wait for the postman to know if there was “some word” from our loved ones.

Barely surviving, yet serving

The post office is in a two-storey building on a busy street in the city's Mohammadpur area. Three post boxes of three colours are on its yard. If it were not for those, people probably would not realise that it was a post office. Over the years the buildings surrounding it have changed but the post office stayed almost the same.

Road to transformation

Shahin Islam, a flood victim in Bogra's Kuripara village, never thought it would be so easy to withdraw money using Bangladesh Post Office's Electronic Money Transfer Service. All he had to do was go to Sariakandi post office, show the official concerned the pin code he received on his mobile phone and collect Tk 5,000 sent by Bangladesh Red Crescent Society as financial aid.
