Description
A striking and rare discovery - this is a 1911 Waterlow and Company chromolithograph promotional broadside issued to promote the Great Indian Peninsular Railway (GIPR), Asia s first and greatest railroad. Boldly promoting the GIPR s expansive sub-continent wide rail network, this map was designed for display in railroad stations throughout India. The map covers the entire subcontinent, with GIPR trunk lines highlighted in red and subsidiary lines via a keyed network of symbols. In the lower right, a large inset of Bombay promotes GIPR services within the network s nucleus. In the lower-left, a finely executed vignette illustrates a GIPR train leaving Bombay s Victoria Terminus (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus), with theIconic Mumbai Municipal Corporation Building (MMCB) recognizable in the background.

Plea for biosphere reserve status to Mahendragiri
Bhubaneswar: A consultation workshop on ‘Integrated Development of Mahendragiri Hill Complex’ was organised by the Odisha Environmental Society in association with Mahendragiri Surakshya Samiti here Sunday.
In the workshop, the experts demanded for a biosphere reserve status to Mahendragiri Hill Complex on the Eastern Ghats in Gajapati district.
Jaya Krushna Panigrahi secretary of OES said that the forest ecosystem at Mahendragiri was dense and inaccessible in the past.
