Pudukottai: The delivery of postal articles was badly affected in and around Pudukkottai on Monday, following a flash strike by postmen, protesting against the alleged attack against a postman by a city-based woman advocate.
The postman Bharathi attached to the head post office here went to deliver a registered article to advocate Ms Gracy Vinitha at her residence. The latter came out of her house, quarreled with the postman and allegedly attacked him, following which he fainted. Passersby admitted the postman to the Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy memorial government hospital here.
On information, other postmen left the delivery of postal mails abruptly. Nagarajan, in-charge of the Postal Department Employees Association told newsmen that a complaint was preferred with Ganesh Nagar police station and warned that if suitable action was not taken against the concerned person, the delivery of postal mail and other articles will be stopped across Tamil Nadu from Tuesday.
Meanwhile, advocate Gracy Vinitha also filed a counter complaint against the postman with the same police station, informed sources said.
