Villagers call for post office

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: Villagers in Fajar Bulan, West Lampung, have written to Governor Poedjono Pranyoto to ask for better postal services.

In a petition, they complained that it is difficult for them to obtain stamps and other postal materials in the village, which has no post office, Antara reported.

The nearest post office is in Liwa, a town about 120 kilometers away.

They argued that, given the large community of migrants, the village should have its own post office to facilitate better communication with relatives back home.

Governor Poedjono has ordered an inquiry into the matter but pointed out that the village is served by a mobile post office, which visits the area twice a week. (emb)
