Postmen to do Aadhaar sewa door to door

New Delhi: Apart from delivering your speed-post, the humble postman will soon deliver a key service at your doorstep – Aadhaar.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is training 48,000 postmen of India Post Payment Bank to go door to door in the remotest parts of the country and link Aadhaar number with mobile numbers, update details, and conduct enrolment of children at the doorstep.

In the second part of the plan, all 150,000 postal officers will be covered, a senior government official said.
