According to the Department of Posts, there are vacancies for nearly 2000 postal employees including postmen.
Postmaster General P Satkumar says that due to this, the delivery of letters has been hampered in some parts of the island.
Due to the shortage of postmen, the delivery of letters in some provinces is delayed by one day.
For that reason, the Postmaster General also said that letter distribution is being done by dividing it into regions.
Due to the retirement of many officers and non-recruitment, the postal service has been hampered in maintaining certain services.
