  64. The Routing of 1st Class mails has been redesigned w. e. f. 15/2/2012 RMS offices have been categorized in to two level viz. Level-1 and level-2 89 Mail offices have been identified as L-1 centers. 244 Mail offices are identified as L- 2 centers. The earlier major concentration centers have been identified as L-1 mail office while other small offices have been identified as L-2 mail office. All L-1 offices are catering mail of Head offices/Sub Offices mapped under them. 2.1.65
  65. . In the new setup all 89 L-1 offices have been linked with each other thus there is uniformity in linking of mail offices without checking any record.
  66. Sorting diagram at L-1 mail offices The offices mapped under each L-1 mail office have to close two sets of bags TD/NTD separately for unregistered articles as well as for registered articles. The bags containing TD mails will contain mail to be delivered by the Post Offices mapped to the same parent mail office. The bags containing NTD mails will contain mail other than TD to be delivered by Post Offices not mapped to the same parent Mail office. Post Offices would continue to retain station articles with them to be delivered by the same Post Office in case of both registered and unregistered articles.
  67. . The L-2 mail office mapped under L-1 mail office will close bags for L-1 mail office to which it is mapped and not for other L-1 mail office of Circle, for example Itarsi RMS will not close bags for Jabalpur RMS, Gwalior RMS and Indore RMS. While Satna RMS, Sagar RMS and Katni RMS will close bags for Jabalpur RMS. Similarly these offices will close bags for each other also.
  68. The concept of Redesigned of 1st class mails is to route the 1st class mails as per same analogy as have been done in respect of Speed articles consequent upon set up of NSPC Hubs and thereby less handling of public mail. The News Paper should be treated as first class, when it is routed through Surface. In case of Air Lift this will be treated as second class mails. The bags closed by L-1/L-2 offices will be treated as due bags and must be closed by respective mail office, and accordingly changes in Due Mail List be done. Even there is no contents for any particular office, the bags should be closed invariably.
  69. The sorting cases and diagram of L-1 mail office may be reorganized as under:- Type-I preliminary and secondary level selection should be provided for - Inbound and incoming mails received from other L-1 mail offices and meant for delivery post offices and L-2 mail offices mapped to the L-1 mail office. Local TD (including catchment area of L-1 mail office) mails received from all post offices mapped to the L-1 mail office to be delivered by the delivery post office mapped to the L-1 mail office.
  70. Type-II (Non TD) preliminary and secondary level selection should be provided for out bond NTD mail may received from attached Post Offices and L-2 mail office of the L-1 mail office and meant for other L-1 mail office as well as L-2 mail office mapped to the L-1 mail office under reference. The bag of NTD should be opened first, so that complete processed public mail may be dispatched by available mode of evening. TD bags should be opened later on. In no case TD/NTD mails should be got mixed.
  71. The sorting diagram at L-2 mail office may be reorganized as follow Type-I (Inbound) TD and Local TD Preliminary and secondary level selections should be provided for (i) inbound/incoming mail received from parent L-1 mail office to which the L-2 mail office is mapped as well as other designated L-2 mail offices and meant for delivery post offices mapped to the L-2 mail office, and (ii) Local TD (including catchment area of the L-2 mails office) mail received from all post offices mapped to the L-2 and to be delivered by the delivery post offices mapped to the L-2 mail office.
  72. Type-II (Non TD) :- Preliminary and secondary level selections should be provided for outbound/Non-TD mail received from attached post offices of the L-2 mail office and meant for other L-1 and L-2 mail offices. At some L-2 mail offices, there could be a situation where only one type of sorting case/diagram is sufficient to incorporate all selections in terms of local TD inbound TD and Non TD mail. In such cases, only one type of sorting case/diagram should be used.
  73. The sorting logic/diagram of type-I and type-II sorting case described above should be redesigned by each mail office based on the average mail volume for various destinations.
  74. The destination with higher mail volume should be kept for sorting under preliminary selection. So far as second class mails is concerned, the existing pattern will remain unchanged. A proposal has already been submitted to Directorate, for linking of all L-2 mails offices of M.P. Circle and some L-2 mail offices of Neighboring Circles.
  75. MNOP FOR SPEED POST 1.New operational network would come in to effect with 1st November 2010 2.89 Sorting hubs and 42 Intra circle hubs are functioning 3.Sorting Hubs close Speed post bags for each other 4.In such circle where no Intra circle hubs functions, post offices would be mapped to one of the sorting hub
  76. 5.Where an Intra circle hub would function, some of the PO be mapped to only one of the sorting hub and some PO be mapped to both sorting hub and Intra circle hub 6.Articles for post office not mapped in Speednet may be sorted based on the PIN range ( First three digits) 7.Sorting hub would do sorting for all delivery post office under its catchment area
