Assam’s Tisterpar Post Office Provides Vital Connection for Remote Border Villages
Dhubri, Assam – In an era dominated by digital connectivity, the Tisterpar post office, located just a kilometer from the India-Bangladesh border, remains a vital link for the region’s farming communities, which make up nearly 90 percent of the local population.
Despite technological advancements, residents still rely on traditional postal services for essential documentation. Established three decades ago, the post office continues to play a pivotal role in delivering ATM cards, PAN cards, Aadhaar cards, and government documents to remote villages along the border.
Serving villages under Durahati and Gaspara panchayats—including Tisterpar Part I & II, Durahati, Gaspara, Shingimari Part I & II, Aranya Gaon, Ghewmari, Kumargati, and Dubirpar—the post office ensures that official correspondence reaches those in need. Letters and documents are routed through Dhubri’s head post office and Dharamsala before arriving at Tisterpar.
The dedication of postal workers has cemented the community’s trust in this service. Mohammed Ali Sheikh, serving as the branch postmaster since 1992, takes immense pride in the post office’s continued relevance. “Even in the digital era, this post office remains a pillar of support for the villagers. We are committed to delivering essential services,” he said.
Afrin Pradhani, a rural postal servant, plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations. Local resident Habibar Rahman highlighted the deeper significance of the post office, stating, “It is more than just a place for letters and documents; it symbolizes the resilience and unity of our community.”
As technology continues to reshape communication, the Tisterpar post office stands as a beacon of reliability, fostering connectivity and trust among Dhubri’s border villages.
