Title : Need to allocate funds to Department of Posts for construction of Post Office buildings in Nooranadu, Vallikunnam and Puthur in Kerala.
SHRI KODIKKUNNIL SURESH (MAVELIKKARA): The Postal Department has acquired land for construction of buildings of Post Offices in Kerala. The postal department is having its own land for construction of post office buildings in Kerala.
Though the Postal department has its own land in Kerala, yet it has not taken any step to construct post offices.
In my Parliamentary Constituency, Mavelikkara, there are three post offices, namely Nooranadu, Vallikunnam in Alleppy district and Puthur in Kollam district, having their own land. As these post offices are in rental building now, several representations were made to postal department to construct the building but the postal department has not taken action to construct their own buildings.
It is understood that the postal department is not getting adequate funds for construction of these buildings. The Union Government should allocate sufficient funds to postal department for construction of their buildings in Kerala.
* Treated as laid on the Table.
I, therefore, urge upon the Union Government to allocate sufficient funds to the Postal Department for construction of post office buildings in Nooranadu, Vallikunnamm and Puthur during the financial year 2010-11.
