Explanation:
The Police in the Indian state Orissa, had until recent times, maintaining an independent 'P-mail' courier service, using Belgian breed 'homing' pigeons as mail carriers during natural disasters such as floods and famines or during times when modern communication collapsed completely.
In one particular instance, in April 1948, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru had used the 'Pigeon mail' services for sending a message to his officials from Sambalpur to Cuttack in Orissa, asking them not to separate the speaker from the audience during his public meeting. The message was correctly delivered in five hours.
