India Post has brought out a set of 4 special stamp and Miniature Sheet to commemorate the opening ceremony of the 19th edition of the Commonwealth Games on 3rd October 2010.
The stamps highlight tennis, archery, hockey and athletics. It was released by Rameshwari Handa, Chief Postmaster General, Delhi circle. Lt Gen (Retd.) Ashok Kapur, ADG (Games Village) and other senior officers of India Post were also present at the release of stamps at the CWG Village Post Office.
Another interesting fact is that this will also be the first stamp to have the newly introduced Rupee Symbol on it instead of "Rs." and with just the single denomination "5" instead of "500".
