1. Read the passage carefully:-
a. Tourist to Jammu and Kashmir have another attraction-a Floating Post Office on the Daltakenin
Srinagar, the first in the country. 'Floating post office,' Dal Lake-claimed to be the only one such post
office in the world is built on an intricately carved maroon houseboat fastened on the Western edge
of the Dal Lake.
b. This Post Office lets you avail of all the regular postal services available in the country while being
afloat. The sea) used on everything posted from floating post-office is unique along with the date
and address, it bears the design of a boatman rowing a Shikara on the dull lake. The special feature
of this post office is that letters posted from here carry a special design which has the picturesque
scenery of the lake and Srinagar city. These picture reach wherever these letters are posted to and
hence promot Kashmir as a tourist destination across the world,
c. This is actually a heritage post office that has existed since British times. It was called Nehru Park
post office before 2011 but then the chief postmaster John Samuel renamed it as Floating Post
Office,
d. The post office's houseboat has two small rooms-one serves as the office and the other is a small
museum that traces the philatelic history of the state's postal department, It has a shop that sells
postage stamps and other products.
e. But for the locals, floating post-office is more than an object of fascination. Rupees 1-2 crore is
deposited per month in floating post-office by communities living in and around the Dal Lake. The
lake has several islets that are home to more than 50000 people.
f. The greatest fear is the recurrence of 2014 like floods in which the house boat had gone for a toss
where it was uncontrollably pushed by the flood. Rescue teams had to anchor it using a special
mechanism in a nearby highland. Then it was brought back on the Dal after the water receded. The
biggest boon is that at no time of the year, you need a fan in this post office.
