The first official telegraph line in India was indeed opened between Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Diamond Harbour, spanning a distance of approximately 33.8 kilometers. This telegraph line was inaugurated on October 24, 1851. It marked a significant milestone in India's telecommunication history, as it was one of the earliest telegraph lines established in the country during the British colonial era.
The introduction of the telegraph system greatly improved long-distance communication and played a vital role in various aspects, including trade, administration, and the military. This initial telegraph line in India paved the way for the expansion of the telecommunication network throughout the country, ultimately leading to the modern telecommunications infrastructure we have today.
