Local Circle Manager. Can the rules of courier be enforced on Postal department where Postman is like a Delivery Boy of the courier? more  
1. Courier Delivery boys must have name displayed with ID card 2. If the customer door is locked, courier boy must leave slip on the door and contact number. 3. Small items that do not require any installation by companies, must be delivered and package opened to avoid any broken or garbage packed inside. 4. Where item delivered requires installation by manufacturer then the customer MUST NOT open the package. Keep it as delivered. Call the customer care for installation. Let the manufacturer's representative open the package(s) and install the product. If found defective, customer MUST obtain in writing on their installation report for replacement of component. more

Is it possible by using a room of artificial high power lights to ripen the fruits in a few days ? Also, as far as I remember from my childhood days, we used to stock near ripe mangoes (from own tree) and it used to ripen maybe in a week's time. Probably we may try that, if the transporter gets us near ripe mangoes. But it's more a matter of unchecked greed and desire of quick money on the part of fruit vendors and the supply chain that has posed the current problem..not sure if we are ready to improve on morality !!! more
