A special meeting of director-level officials in State Post Bureau (SPB) was held Friday to discuss measures to be taken in the city, read a report on the bureau's website.
All letters and packages need to go through a machine during the security check, said Ma Junsheng, director of the bureau.
Efforts should be made in monitoring delivery companies to fully implement the real-name policy, added Ma.
The SPB should shoulder the key responsibility to ensure delivery safety during the period, and bureaus from six neighboring provinces and cities should offer wingman support, said Ma.
Previous reports indicated that there were drug dealers who smuggled drugs using the delivery packages with fake information, the Xinhua News Agency reported on June 25.
Many cities in China have taken steps to implement the real-name policy in the delivery industry to fight such illegal practices.
Package senders are required to have their name and ID card registered by the post office staff in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian Province, reported the Chongqing Morning Post.
The real-name policy would be a double-edged sword, said the report. It prevents delivery of drugs and dangerous goods but creates a risk of leaking private information.
