Ariyalur, Aug 18 A bill to regulate private courier services will be introduced in the coming session of Parliament, the Union Minister for Communication and Information Technology. Mr A. Raja, said here on Saturday.

Launching Project Arrow, a programme to restructure and modernise the Department of Posts, at the post offices at Ariyalur, Perambalur and other places, Mr Raja said steps were being taken to modernise the services of the department by the introduction of latest technologies.
