Overview
- A short video from Amritsar’s General Post Office shows a customer confronting a postal employee who said he could not read Punjabi and asked the customer to read the address aloud.
- The employee later identified himself as Vishal Singh, a Delhi native posted in Amritsar for four years, and told Zee Media he requested the reading and noted that videography is not permitted inside the office.
- Singh said he works in a central department where English and Hindi are used, reflecting the transfer of staff across states and differing expectations over regional languages.
- Another staff member intervened to calm the exchange, and reports indicate the situation did not escalate, with no disciplinary action or policy change reported.
- The clip has drawn divided responses on social media and is being framed alongside recent language flashpoints in Maharashtra and Karnataka, though Times Now said it could not independently verify the video.
