16 August declared as National Logistics Day

The Cabinet of Ministers at its meeting on Monday decided to declare 16 August as National Logistics Day.  

The Government said the efficient and effective management of all the supplies in a country was called logistics and if the relevant process were not properly managed, problems such as rising commodity prices and consequent difficulty in controlling the cost of living would arise. 

To create greater awareness on the importance of efficient and secure logistics, the Transport Minister has proposed to Cabinet to declare a National Logistics Day annually. To signify the maiden initiative, a commemorative stamp will be released this year.
