President Bidya Devi Bhandari affixed the first cancellation mark on a postage stamp bearing the image of Satya Mohan Joshi at a programme organised at Sheetal Niwas today.
The programme was organised by the Philatelic and Postage stamp management Office. One million stamps have been issued. A stamp of this commemorative issue is of Rs 10 denomination.
A meeting of the Council of Ministers last Sunday decided to give approval for issuing the postage stamp with the portrait of the centenarian Joshi. The Cabinet meeting on March 22, 2020 had decided to publish the postage stamp bearing the image of Joshi in course of approving the Philatelic Programme for 2020.
