Postal Service Delivers Letter Despite Wrong Name, Address In Haryana

In a rare turn of events, the Indian Postal Service delivered a letter correctly to a person despite it having a wrong name and an incomplete address.

A Twitter user Navdeep Singh shared the photo of the envelope with the caption: "'Maj NavNeeT Singh, High Court, Panchkula, Haryana'... A distinguished service medal is due to our @IndiaPostOffice for delivering this letter to my residential address facing all odds, and that too in time."
