D) 10 February 1911

Explanation : The postal service in India started using airplanes for delivering mail in 1911. Prior to that, mail was delivered mainly by surface transportation such as trains, horses, and bullock carts. The introduction of airmail service was a major milestone in the history of the Indian postal system, as it significantly reduced the delivery time for letters and parcels, making communication much faster and more efficient. The first airmail flight in India was operated between (Allahabad, officially known as Prayagraj - Uttara Pradesh) Allahabad and Naini, and it was a significant event in the history of Indian aviation as well. Over the years, the Indian postal department has expanded its airmail network to cover a larger part of the country and has continued to play a crucial role in the country's communication infrastructure.
