As someone who regularly sends parcels to my family in smaller towns, I welcome this. The existing speed post can be unpredictable. A guaranteed 48-hour service would be a huge relief. The key will be execution and last-mile delivery in remote areas.

Good announcement, but I'll believe it when I see it. We've heard promises before. The post office infrastructure needs massive improvement first. Also, renovating an office for 2 lakhs and building a new one for over 1 crore? Hope the money is used wisely.

Speed Post 24 for documents is a brilliant idea! So many students and professionals need to send certificates and applications urgently. This, combined with the telecom reforms for 'Make in India', shows a push for modernizing our core services. Jai Hind!

The focus on reducing compliance, especially for MSMEs and women-led labs, is the real story here. That's how you build an ecosystem. Speed Post upgrades are the public-facing benefit, but these backend reforms are crucial for long-term growth.

Hope these services reach every corner of the country, including the Northeast region which Scindia ji also looks after. Digital India needs a strong physical logistics backbone. This is a step in the right direction. 👍
