Irina Gekht discussed with the head of the Russian Post delivery to remote villages of NAO

NAO Governor Irina Gekht held a working meeting with the General Director of the Russian Post Mikhail Volkov. The parties discussed delivery to hard-to-reach villages and the development of the branch network.

- Parcel delays and shortened mail schedules are questions that county residents are asking me. People sometimes wait for departure for two months or longer. There are 29 post offices, 24 of them are rural. Most are only accessible by air. Therefore, the timing largely depends on the organization of flights. It is important for us to make them more regular so that correspondence and parcels do not accumulate while waiting for the flight, said Irina Gekht.

The head of the region also noted that delivering mail to the village is only part of the task. We need people to be able to get it. Due to the lack of personnel, this is not always possible, even when the cargo has already arrived. Staff should be supported and replaced in advance during their absence.

In addition, the working meeting discussed infrastructure. Now the district is building buildings to accommodate mail in Ust-Kara and Khongurei, helps with the selection of specialists, transports items free of charge by associated service flights. Irina Gekht stressed that the NAO expects further cooperation with the company in updating the premises and improving conditions for employees and visitors.
