MAKHACHKALA, May 15 – RIA "Dagestan". A meeting of the coordination working group on developing postal infrastructure, improving accessibility and quality of postal services and modernizing post offices across Dagestan was held under the leadership of Rizvan Gazimagomedov, Acting Vice Prime Minister of the republic.
Currently, the federal postal network in Dagestan comprises 438 post offices: 76 located in urban areas and 353 in rural settlements. Of these, 9 are mobile units, and 19 are municipally owned. During the session, participants discussed the potential signing of an agreement between Russian Post and the Government of Dagestan to provide tax and non-tax support measures. Should such an agreement be reached, Russian Post would commit to including the region in its program for modernizing rural post offices.
To address staffing shortages in municipalities, the active introduction of self-service points was proposed. These stations would enable customers to independently pack, weigh, determine tariffs, and pay for postal items—streamlining operations and reducing dependency on on-site personnel. The working group emphasized that modernizing postal infrastructure is essential for improving service accessibility in remote and mountainous areas while supporting the republic's broader digital transformation goals.
