"We have seen a surprising demand for this bottled Gangajal from Rishikesh.We started selling it from Sunday and by Tuesday the stock was totally sold out,"

Chief Post Master General, West Bengal Circle, Arundhaty Ghosh told us. You don't have to visit Gangotri and Rishikesh to get 'Gangajal' now.

“Amazon and Snapdeal already sell bottled Ganges water, but India Post may have the advantage of cheaper pricing.

The water will be sourced from Gangotri and Rishikesh in 200 and 500 ml bottles, and has be priced between Rs 15 and Rs 35’.

"I used to get several requests that with a vast network of post offices can we get Ganga water.

I have directed Department of Posts to utilise e-commerce platform and make arrangement for providing pure Gangajal from Haridwar and Rishikesh to people," India's telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said a few months ago, adding that the step was being taken to address "cultural needs".

India's 180-year-old postal department has been trying to reverse its losses by tapping into its large network of 155,000 post offices and 460,000 employees for e-commerce partnerships and deliveries.

Over 400 e-commerce companies, including the likes of Amazon and Flipkart, have tied up with India Post to make deliveries in rural areas, where over 90% of its post offices are located.
