Tirupur: A day after Aadhaar cards and postal letters were found dumped in garbage, two officials from the regional office of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) visited Tirupur south tahsildar office to conduct an inquiry. The officials would submit a report to their higher-ups.
The sack containing Aadhaar cards and about 700 letters that were supposed to be delivered by Gandhinagar sub-post office was found dumped along Parambikulam Aliyar Project (PAP) canal near Alagumalai.
On information, Tirupur south tahsildar Gopalakrishnan recovered the sack. The district collector directed the sub-collector to conduct an inquiry.
Meanwhile, the postal department has also initiated an inquiry. “Letters dating December 16 were found inside the sack. They were supposed to be delivered by temporary workers. It was not known who dropped the sack near the canal. We would receive the bundles after the revenue department completes its inquiry. A departmental inquiry would be conducted,” said postal superintendent K Gopinathan.
