Thousands of people in India poured into Telegraph Hall 14th, sending a memorable last telegram, Xinhua reported.
The same day, India's state-owned Telecommunications Co., Ltd. terminated Telegraph business. The 162-Year-old Indian Electric newspaper is also the world's largest telegraph service to withdraw from the history stage.
The Indian Electric newspaper began in the British colonial period, the East India Company in 1851 in Calcutta and the nearby diamond Seaport erected the first about 40 kilometers long line, to transmit information.

Today, India's Telegraph daily business is only 5,000, leaving only 75 sales hall, employing 998 people.
