Travancore Instructional Markings...Express (അടിയന്ത്രം) ..2 different ..in English & Malayalam.


These instructional 'Express'(അടിയന്ത്രം) markings were seen affixed on registered postal articles which are meant to delivered urgently within few hours of posting.
The postal fees were calculated on the basis of distance per mile.
As these 'Express' delivery system were not accepted by the public, due to the high postal charges, they were seldom seen used on postal articles.

 These markings were never found used as cancellations, but only as directions to the postman as to the the importance of its expedite delivery.
