What to do when electronic data of COD article is not received at Delivery POs ? Clarification

 

We can check whether booking data of a COD article is available in Parcelnet MIS or using regular tracking from India Post Home Page.

  Click here to visit Parcel Net MIS 

 Follow the given procedure:

1. It was informed there in that the electronic data will be served by the Central Server within 3 hours of the request provided 

booking information is available with Server 

Other office has not already marked as RTS.

2. It was clearly informed therein that if the Booking information is not available in Server (OR) if the amount available on the article and in the electronic data differs,  the Post Offices have to process those articles manually,  send the Service Money orders and enter the same in disaster recovery module. 

3. It was further directed therein that if electronic data is not received by these selected Post offices even after the request, they need to take up the issue with CEPT by raising the tickets, so that CEPT will rectify the issues if any in communication/local database.

4. It is learnt that some offices are not issuing service money orders by mis-interpreting these mails.  It is once again clarified that the Service Money Order is not discontinued.    The intention of these instructions is to ensure processing of COD Parcels through system, wherever electronic data can be served by the server by addressing the communication issues, if any.

5. In order to give more clarity,  the following detailed steps are  to be followed by the delivery Post Offices, in case of  non receipt of electronic data even after giving request for electronic data:

Track the article in India Post Website to see whether 

a. Booking information is available for the COD Parcel

b. The article is already marked as RTS by some other office

>If booking information is not available, the article may be processed manually.   The manual disposal details (either Delivered/RTS) should be entered in Disaster Recovery option of the Postman module. 

>If booking information is available and if it is not already marked as RTS, check up whether the RNet Communication is working fine or not. This can be done by seeing the Log file available in RNet Communication folder.

>If RNet communication is working fine and if no errors are shown in the Log file, please raise a ticket in HDMS intimating the article number.

>CEPT will examine and provide suitable solution so that you will receive electronic data and can process all such articles through system thereafter.

Beware- Whatsapp admins

Messaging application WhatsApp has now reached a stage where it runs your everyday social media life. Or in many cases, ruins as well. On Thursday, the administrator of a WhatsApp group was arrested from Marathwada, Maharashtra. His crime — being the administrator of a group where a video of a man slaughtering a cow and abusing the Prime Minister was shared — allowing circulation of what was dubbed ‘objectionable’ content.

Days ago, Ambika (name changed), an employee of an e-commerce portal filed a sexual harassment complaint against her colleague for a sexually demeaning post sent on a WhatsApp group. In such cases, who has control of what is posted on the group? Certainly not the administrator, who cannot even delete such a post from the group. “In this case, what will authorities do if Ambika herself is the admin of the group? Will they arrest her?” asks Karthik Lakshmanan, an ardent social media user. “It’s a no-brainer. They should not arrest people for something trivial,” he adds.

Instead, says college student Ali Husain Dahodwala, who is part of about 20 groups, the person who sends such content should be held responsible. The groups he is a part of, he says, have an average of three administrators.

However, Dhanya Menon, cyber security expert, has a different take. “Like how a principal is in charge of whatever happens in a school, the administrator is responsible for content in the group,” she contends. “The administrator is the one who creates the group and adds or removes members, so he or she should know who is being added and what content the members may share.” She adds that if one is unsure of the group members or the content going to be shared, that person has the option to simply exit the group. Menon also says that till specific legislation on the subject is brought in, holding the admin responsible makes sense. “And it’s not like the ones who posted the content will go scot-free. They will also be arrested,” she points out.

The drawbacks are manifold. First, WhatsApp administrators have no control of the content posted on the group — he or she cannot moderate or delete content and can only remove the person who posted it. Second, what one person considers objectionable, another may not. So first decide what is universally objectionable, says Lakshmanan.

Third, there are several technical loopholes. A group can have multiple administrators, and if the person who created the group quits, the system automatically assigns another administrator at random. Can this person be held responsible? “No, he cannot. And first thing I’m going to do is exit all groups,” concludes Lakshmanan on a lighter note.
