[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528475545650","data":"<p> Going through the interesting facts about India, one of the facts that grabbed my attention is the India\u2019s first floating post office. The Dal Lake in Srinagar introduced the India\u2019s first floating post office in 2011. As we know for a fact that, India has the highest number of post offices in the world but the one thing that attracts the tourist in Srinagar Dal Lake is the floating post office which was inaugurated by the former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in August 2011. The post office turns out to be a boon for the state tourism and is a tribute to the Dal Lake. The post office has a huge collection of stamps which is kept as a museum, which showcases its history and other fascinating stuff about postal stamps. Moreover the shops also sell postal stamps with other things. It also allows calls, emails to the tourists to connect to their family and friends. Another interesting fact about the post office is that the letters posted in this post office are carried out with a special design with the picture of landscape of the lake and with other attractions from Srinagar. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528477687835","data":"5b1ab7fd11c14"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528477723868","data":"<p> The visitors to the post office are not allowed to go inside it by wearing shoes. The idea cane up during the British period and was originally named as the Nehru post office but was closed because of the militancy in 1990s but later it was renamed as the floating post office by then chief post master, John Samuel. During the 2014 flood it was broken but was rescued and later it was bought back from the higher ground when the water level receded. The beautiful floating post office adds more beauty to the Dal Lake of Srinagar.<\/p>"}]
