Indian telegraph

The sad news is that, since May, it has no longer been possible to send an international telegram from India.

The good news however is that the internal, domestic telegraph service is still in business, albeit that messages are transmitted from one telegraph office to another via e-mail. The telegram still has legal value because the sender’s receipt is admissible proof that the document has been sent (if not necessarily that it has arrived at its intended destination).
