Rear Left side frame for keeping the postmen bags, carrier, provision of
additional side stand etc. and further suggested to provide fabric bag/box with
existing frame at rear left side carrier to have postmen
carry more mail/articles in their beats.
Committee examined the 2 samples of FRP Box got developed at Delhi (by MMS
Delhi) and at Chennai (by PMG Agra) and checked them for their durability,
weight, size, comfort in usage, look & feel etc.and recommended that the
FRP boxes provided were durable, light weight, attractive and will be more
convenient to for usage in the postmen bicycle as compared to the metal box.
The modified steel Grill Basket provided in front of the Bicycle is found
satisfactory. The Department Logo painted between parallel bar of bicycle, in
print basket, Rear Box are visible and attractive
The committee has
drafted the specifications of the front grill basket, FRP box, fabric bag/box
and rear carrier which are enclosed as Annexure A, B, C and D.
The committee
is of the opinion that due diligence shall have to be applied for finalizing
the specifications of the bicycle as it is felt that the bicycle should be
customized for use by Postmen and the uniqueness of the design shall also be
used for imparting a separate brand identity to the bicycle. In order to
finalize the bicycle specifications it is proposed to have consultations with
prominent bicycle manufacturers in the country.
Next committee meeting shall be held
after consultations with bicycle manufacturers. Date and venue shall be decided
accordingly.
