The
Department of Posts has begun renovation of an 85-year-old post office at
Vellayil, a colony of about 10,000 people located between Kozhikode and West
Hill railway stations. The renovation has been a long-pending demand, which was
stepped up recently after it was found that the ceiling and other structures
were unsafe for the employees and customers.
When
this was brought to the notice of the Department, its authorities said that if
the residents had a genuine appeal for improvement, it would be done. The
residents, however, say that renovation is only one issue. The other is the
status of the post office, and more facilities.
The
residents have welcomed the renovation work, recalling how their campaign
helped in re-opening it after it was closed for three years on the grounds of
poor condition. They have demanded construction of a modern building with more
parking facility.
