The Department of Posts announced in a statement on Saturday that all postal services to the United States will be temporarily suspended from August 25.

The Trinamool Congress and the Samajwadi Party decided not to nominate any of its members to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) being proposed to examine the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, calling the committee a farce.

Effective August 25, 2025, the Department of Posts will temporarily suspend most international postal services to the US due to new customs regulations. The US Executive Order No. 14324 withdraws duty-free exemptions for goods valued up to $800, imposing duties on all goods except gift items under $100. The executive order also outlines new responsibilities for transport carriers and “qualified parties” authorized by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
