“Post Office Ready to Send Diwali Faral Delicacies Abroad” “Diwali Abroad to Be ‘Sweeter’ Too; Facility to Send ‘Diwali Faral and Gift Parcels’ Through Post Office”

The Pune Postal Region, under the Ministry of Communications, has introduced an initiative to facilitate the international delivery of 'Diwali Faral' (traditional festive snacks) and gift parcels to relatives living abroad. The service includes on-site packaging at select major post offices in Pune and a doorstep collection facility for parcels. To expand accessibility, a new booking counter has been inaugurated at the Pune Airport Cargo Terminal, operating daily, including Sundays and holidays. This service aims to support citizens in sending festive items to family members residing overseas. Notably, the Department of Posts recorded the dispatch of 21,000 kg of Faral from Pune last year.
