Postal service
As a regular user of postal service, I would like to bring a few things to your notice. A post office puts two seals on the mail: one with the receiving office name and date, the other with delivery office name and date. These are useful information to the recipient. Moreover, they have legal significance at times. But in almost all the cases, impressions of these seals are so hazy and smeared that it is impossible to read them. Would the postal authorities issue more legible seals to its offices, and ensure proper impression? There is a system of identifying post offices with Post Code. Putting the code in address ensures that the mail gets sorted easily. Post offices used to sell a booklet listing all the post offices of Bangladesh and their codes. The book is out of stock for several years. Can the postal authorities reprint the book, or post a listing on the Web of all post codes and their corresponding areas?
The two-taka stamp is perhaps the most used one. But for a long time, only one version of this (National Diabetes Awareness Day "95) is available. Years back, many interesting stamps of this denomination were there, such as the Martyred Intellectual series. Would they come up with some interesting two-taka stamps?
