Raigad Postal Services To Be Suspended On August 2 For IT System Upgrade

All postal services across Raigad district will remain suspended on August 2 (Saturday) as the Department of Posts gears up to implement the new IT 2.0 system—a major digital overhaul aimed at improving efficiency, accuracy, and customer service.

The system will officially go live on August 4, covering all categories of post offices in the district, including Head Post Offices, Sub-Post Offices, and Branch Post Offices. The temporary closure on August 2 is to facilitate critical data transfer, an essential step in the migration process.

The Department has advised customers to complete any urgent postal work by July 31 to avoid delays or inconvenience. Officials have emphasized that the upgrade is part of a broader national initiative to modernize India’s postal infrastructure and make services more technology-driven and customer-focused.

Public cooperation has been requested during the short disruption, which authorities say will pave the way for faster, more reliable, and transparent postal operations going forward.
