Indian Postman empties a letter box - archival footage of the daakiya, in Delhi

From the archive record

A postman at Jangpura in New Delhi empties a metal letter box, gathering all the letters and taking them back to the main post office. This is archival footage from the 1990's when the Indian postal system was still very active with the movement of a large number of letters. Nowadays, courier services, electronic means of communication and other instantaneous forms have overtaken the good old chhitthi and reduced the work and relevance of the dakiya and his postal delivery systems...
