The Hindu
K. Nagendra Prabhu Foundation has one sent by former CM 56 years ago
It’s been eight years since the State-run telegram service fell silent. The telegram, one of the oldest communication services and once the quickest that touched the lives of people across the country by delivering messages of joy and grief for more than 160 years, died a natural death on July 14, 2013 after bowing to the emergence of modern technologies . But, there are people who still keep a telegram as a souvenir. The Alappuzha-based K. Nagendra Prabhu Foundation is in possession of a rare telegram sent by former Chief Minister Pattom A. Thanu Pillai 56 years ago.More Related News
