To commemorate Childrens Day celebrations, Chief Postmaster General (CPMG) DoP J&K, John Samuel released two special postage stamps at function organised here today.

"The stamps are of Rs 5 and Rs 20 denominations. Both the stamps on Childrens day depict the drawings of school children on Tiger", Samuel told reporters here today.

This is a part of the Governments initiative to create awareness about protecting the Tigers, he said adding that DoP has been taking many innovative steps to bring high quality philately stamps.

He said that the Department of Posts brought out a unique stamp printed on Khadi cloth recently with the image of the Father of our nation Mahatma Gandhi.
