India Post issued a special cover on 07 May 2012 to mark 25 Years of  Speed Post. Our sources and the Information Brochure mentions that 7500 covers have been released. As usual Covers are not available. It is reliably learnt that 100 blank covers have been sent to the Philatelic Bureaus and were to be released on 7th May,2012 but the catchet design/catchet is still awaited – as on 26 May 2012. As a result of this Philatelic bureaus are unable to cancel and sell the covers.

Strange are the ways in INDIA POST. Firstly information is never made Public on time -if that be so then material is not available on time.
