The nation will never forgive the BSNL Management, DOT and the Government for burying the telegram services, while it was still alive. There was no demand from the people to close it. They were still using it. The argument that the telegram service was in loss is a myth. Telegram services  is part of the telecommunication services, which is in loss for the last three years and naturally the telegram services also had their share. But there was no justification to close it.

The people loved it. They had used it at one time or another. They had nostalgia about the telegrams.

The workers protest against closure has been ignored by the BSNL which put a stop to the living telegrams. But still the case in the Chennai High Court is there. Let us hope that telegram services will come back with alive to serve the people.
