Mangaluru Division of India Post is involved in delivering medicines and other emergency consignments from one place to another. Medicines and other emergency consignments within Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and neighbouring districts of Shivamogga, Mysuru, Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru and Hassan are delivered immediately.
But the delivery of consignments to far-off places was delayed as the consignment had to pass through Bengaluru, according to a press release issued by Senior Superintendent of Post Offices Shriharsha N.
Besides the delivery of the medicines, India Post offers e-money order service. The public can send an e-money order from post office to anywhere in the country.

Over 5,500 beneficiaries received pension through e-money orders in Mangaluru division, while another 24,000 will get e-money orders this week.
