LUDHIANA: The Philatelic Museum, opened in April, 1999, was meant to be
a treasure trove for stamp collectors and aficionados in the city, but
few people know about its existence today. If the government knows, they
have forgotten and the museum is in dire need of attention.
Even the properties on display, which had been collected from across the world, have been stolen. With the place lying deserted, stray animals make themselves comfortable on the premises.
Yashpal Bangia, founder member of the Philatelic Club and Museum said, "Many letters have been written to the Union government and Indian postal services but no action has been taken yet. We even told the government that we are ready to handle all other services but they need to appoint someone."
Not that we have many such museums to allow one to go waste with a light mind. There are only two Philatelic museums in the country. One is in New Delhi and the other is here in the city.
