Industrialists call for urgent reforms to rescue Pakistan Post

Industrialists have urged the revitalisation of the Pakistan Post Office, stressing that with useful reforms, the institution could become profitable again. They stated that the Post Office is currently facing severe challenges due to prolonged neglect, mismanagement, and corruption. Despite offering essential services such as communication, remittances, and postal deliveries, the department is on the verge of collapse due to ineffective government policies and a lack of serious attention. Muhammad Farooq Shaikhani, President of the Hyderabad Chamber of Small Traders and Small Industry, called for crucial reforms to revive the organisation. He suggested digitalisation of services, public-private partnerships, improved services, and increased transparency and accountability as key measures.
