TIMERGARA: Local residents on Saturday demanded of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to appoint a postman to the post office at Mayar.

Talking to journalists at Samarbagh, they said the Mayar post office had been without a postman for eight years due to which important letters and documents could not reach concerned people, especially students, on time.

The residents said they had sent applications to the Lower Dir deputy commissioner, district nazim and high ups of postal services, demanding appointment of postman, but to no avail.

They demanded of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to resolve the matter without delay.
