MUMBAI:Last year when the government decided to stop the
telegram service,news channel
News Nation decided to use it to
its advantage.Upon inquiry from
the Limca Book of Records
(LBR), it found that the record for the
maximum number of telegrams sent in a day
had earlier been held by a person in Kerala for
sending 201 telegrams in one day.
It sent a mail to the LBR that it will be
attempting to break the existing record. In
order to break the record it had to send out a
minimum of 50 telegrams more than the
earlier record.
On 13 July 2013, the channel sent out 400
telegrams from the Noida post office to
various people including the President, Prime
Minister, Sonia Gandhi, Shah Rukh Khan,
agencies, socialites etc. The message on the
telegrams was ‘ab telegram nahi aayega, News
Nation har khabar pahunchayega.’ Once it was
done, it had to send the original receipts,
photos and a video of the process to LBR.
Even though no one responded back in time (as
the service was to be shut from 14 July), it has
now received the response from the LBR that
it has successfully created a new record of
‘most telegrams sent in a day (group)’. The
record will feature in the next edition of the
book that will come out in January 2015.
This record has also become unbreakable
because the service no longer exists in the
country. News Nation gets a place in Limca Book of Records | Indian Television Dot Com
