1. Read the following passage carefully:
Tourists to Jammu and Kashmir have another attraction - a floating post office on the Dal
Lake in 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.
This post office lets you avail of all the regular postal services available in the country while
being afloat. The seal 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 Dal Lake. The
special feature of this post office is that letters posted from here carry a special design which has
the picturesque scenery of Dal Lake and Srinagar city. These pictures reach wherever these
letters are posted to and hence promote Kashmir as a tourist destination across the world.
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'.
The post office's houseboat has two small rooms
- one serves as the office and the other a small
museum that traces the philatelic history of the state postal department. It has a shop that sells
postage stamps and other products.

But for the locals, Floating Post office is more than an object of fascination. * 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 50,000 people.
6. The greatest fear is the recurrence of 2014 like floods in which the houseboat had gone for a
toss uncontrollably pushed by the flood. Rescue teams had to anchor it using 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 do you need a fan in this post-office!
