Uttar Pradesh’s spiritual traditions must be preserved through postage stamps: Yogi

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said here on Saturday that Uttar Pradesh's rich cultural and spiritual traditions need to be preserved through postage stamps and special covers issued by the Postal department so that the next generation could be taught about it more easily and broadly,

Inaugurating the 12th state level philatelic exhibition, UPHILEX-2022, being organised by the Uttar Pradesh Postal Circle as a part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav from October 15 to 17 at Lalit Kala Academy, Aliganj, the chief minister said that philately was once an area of great interest.

“Today, there are more than 300 frames on display here. I have got the opportunity to see all the stamps and covers that have been issued by the Postal department since Independence,” he said.
