delivering letters in snow

Over 200 women in the Himachal Pradesh postal circle deliver mail to the state’s remotest villages. Battling snowstorms, rain and steep mountain paths, these postmasters ensure letters, pensions, and essentials reach communities, keeping people connected.

For 30 years, 55-year-old Ulfata Bano has trekked through knee-deep snow in Kashmir’s harsh winters, delivering 20-25 parcels daily.
