Odisha's first Foreign Post Office in BBSR
Inaugurated at Postal Printing Press at Mancheswar in Bhubaneswar is Odisha's first Foreign Post Office (FPO), where it will facilitate customs clearance and booking of the foreign articles or consignments to ensure their smooth and prompt transmission. This decision came in after India Post thought it was necessary to establish a FPO in Bhubaneswar as the customers were not satisfied with the delay in processing foreign articles booked in Odisha through FPO, Kolkata. In its initial phase, the FPO Bhubaneswar will function as export facilitation centre. In addition to this, FPO will also facilitate in taking cultural and heritage produces of Odisha to the whole world. The office will process all the foreign consignments booked in 1210 departmental post offices across the state.
