The remote rural area of Gandoh in the hill district of Doda in Jammu & Kashmir is all set to have its first-ever Post Office which will start functioning shortly. This comes close on the heels of the recent approval for setting up a Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) in another remote block of Jodhpur in district Doda.
Announcing this here today , Union MoS Dr Jitendra Singh disclosed that Gandoh is a remotely located place about 30-35 kms from the township of Thathri and is very poorly connected as far as communication and internet is concerned. With a Post Office becoming functional in this peripheral location, he said, the entire population around the area, particularly the youth and students, will have the ease of applying for higher education institutions as well as for jobs.
Expressing gratitude towards Union Ministry for Communications , Dr Jitendra Singh said, he is pleased to note that he had made a representation for a Post Office at Gandoh on the 14th of February this year and within a short span of 6 months, it has been conceded by the concerned Ministry.
