“Under the scheme ‘Gift Post’ people around the world can book their order for Kashmiri saffrons, almonds and dry fruits, through an online service and the delivery will be done through the postal services department,” Chief Post Master General of Jammu and Kashmir circle John Samuel told reporters today.
