For the first time, India Post successfully delivered the National Flag via drone from Mandi to Rehardhar in Himachal Pradesh on the eve of Independence Day.

This aims to strengthen connectivity and facilitate efficient mail delivery in difficult terrains, embodying the ethos of 'Dak Sewa, Jan Sewa' and dedication to serving the nation.
