Me and my family are having a few M.I.S at Hyderabad G.P.O. I have been transferred to Kolkata in the last month. Before shifting, I had contacted Hyderabad G.P.O for transfer to Bangur Avenue Post office, Kolkata-55 which is nearest to my residence. While I have contacted Kolkata P.O.now, they have mentioned that we have to transfer these MIS from Hyd only. Now we have already shifted to Kolkata and it is very very difficult for us to go to Hyderabad and do this as it means lots of expenses and time. Now either Hyderabad G.P.O or Kolkata P.O is incorrect but it shows total insnsitveness of Indian Post Office system. Please guide us, what to do?
