He performs his duties even in scorching heat and foul weather. Whenever he delivers money orders, parcels, registered letters etc., he takes the signature of the persons concerned. In other words, when there are money orders or registered things, he calls out the addresses. He has to walk or cover a long distance laboriously to finish his duties in time. He is too busy to walk with people.

He always carries a canvas bag on his shoulder with letters, money orders, parcels, postal articles etc. in it for delivery. He is seen to carry an umbrella over his head during the rains and the summer. Formerly every postman had to put on a khaki dress and carry a bag containing postal materials for delivery.
