About the PPC, It became India’s first combination PPC which has to use two different cachets at a time to deface postal articles, one which contains a Red Fort image and the other is a regular date/place, but They touch each other for complete cancellation. One more important thing is that this PPC is also provided on Sunday (Weekly Holiday Monday).
