"NEW DELHI: 163-year-old telegram service to close forever at 9 pm today. Once the fastest means of communication for millions of people, the humble telegram was today buried without any requiem but for the promise of preserving the last telegram as a museum piece. Started in 1850 on an experimental basis between Koklata and Diamond Harbor, it was opened for use by the British East India Company the following year. In 1854, the service was made available to the public." courtesy to Mr. Jijukalayil Thumpamon
