NEW DELHI (AP) ? India's last telegram went out late Sunday, marking the end of a service that millions of Indians had relied on for fast communication for more than 160 years.
Hundreds of people thronged the 75 telegraph offices remaining in the country to send their last telegrams to friends or family as a keepsake.
The company canceled holidays for staff at the offices to handle the rush, Shameem Akhtar, general manager at the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd., which runs India's telegram service, said Monday.
The company says declining revenues forced it to end the service, which had become obsolete in an age of email, reliable landlines and ubiquitous cellphones.
Some of the last-day users sent telegrams to Kapil Sibal, India's minister for telecommunications, pleading for the service to be continued.
"The losses were mounting. It was not viable to have kept it going much longer," Akhtar said. That was especially true as the number of cellphone users exploded, with 867 million subscribers as of April.
The telecommunications ministry said it lost $250 million in the last seven years and that it was time to put an end to the service.
India's telegram service began in 1850, when the first telegram was sent from the eastern city of Kolkata to Diamond Harbor, a southern suburb nearly 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the city center.
Over the next few decades, telegraph offices proliferated, wiring the vast subcontinent with a network that became known for its speed and dependability.
At its peak in the mid-1980s, more than 45,000 telegraph offices dotted the country, with tens of thousands of telegraph workers and delivery men dispatching more than 600,000 telegrams a day. From birth and death announcements, to college admissions, job appointments and court summons, the telegram was the main way tens of millions of Indians __ in the remotest parts of the country and in its teeming cities __ received important news.
Until recently, the government used telegrams to inform recipients of top civilian awards and for court notices. India's armed forces even recognized telegrams from troops extending vacations or from soldiers' families requesting their presence at home for a funeral.
It was not immediately known what mode of communication the government will choose to replace the telegram for these types of announcements, but officials said since a lot of work was now done electronically, government departments will likely opt for email.

Million person march? Morsi supporters plan huge rally in Cairo

Supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi perform Friday prayers at Rabaa Adawiya square in Cairo.

CAIRO ? Supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi called for one million people to march on Friday to demand his reinstatement.
The Egypt National Alliance to Support Legitimacy was behind the rally in support of the Muslim Brotherhood-backed ex-leader, who was removed from office by the country?s military on July 3.

Days of massive protests and a military ultimatum forced the country's first democratically elected president from office.
However, a rival group called for an evening rally in support of the new interim government, raising the prospect of violence in Cairo.
Morsi is believed to be held at the Republican Guard compound in Cairo, where dozens of his supporters were killed on Monday as they demonstrated outside.
"It's a very hard time for Egyptians, to see footage of blood and violence during the holy month of Ramadan, and everyone I speak to says the same thing," Fateh Ali, a 54-year-old civil servant in Cairo, told Reuters.
"I really hope the situation gets resolved soon. I don't think we can afford this economically or psychologically."
Also on Friday, the U.S. State Department said -- for the first time in public -- that it agreed with a call from Germany's foreign minister for Morsi to be released.?
Asked if the United States agreed with Germany's call, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters, "We do agree."?
Thousands protested the military's removal of President Mohamed Morsi, demanding that he be reinstated. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Violence continues
In separate violence, a police officer was killed and a soldier injured in an attack on an armored vehicle in Arish, in the Sinai region, local media reported.
The state news agency also reported that three Palestinians had been arrested in Sinai during which it said where attempts to attack ?vital installations?.
Meanwhile, Egypt's interim prime minister said Friday he will start contacting candidates for cabinet ministries on Sunday and Monday with a view to having the Cabinet sworn in by the end of next week, according to Reuters.
Hazem el-Beblawi, a liberal economist and former finance minister, was chosen to lead the interim Cabinet following the removal of Morsi, an Islamist who was democratically elected in 2012.
U.S. aid to Egypt is under review in the wake of last week?s military-backed power shift. ?Given the events of last week, the president has directed relevant departments and agencies to review our assistance to the government of Egypt," the Pentagon said in a statement Thursday.
President Barack Obama has been under pressure from lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain, who say the U.S. should not be supporting what is regarded by supporters of Morsi ? and countries including Turkey - as a coup.
U.S. law requires that aid be cut off to a country that undergoes a military coup, but Western leaders have stopped short of declaring the July 3 transition a coup.

PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) ? The penultimate bull run of Spain's San Fermin festival left at least 23 people injured Saturday, when thrill-seekers fleeing the beasts were crushed at the narrow entrance to the bullring, officials said. Two of the injuries were gorings.
As the huge animals thundered into the entrance of the tunnel, they were blocked by a mound of dozens of people who had fallen and were piled on top of one other.
One bull that had fallen before the entrance got up and charged into the clogged passageway. Two steers jumped over the pile of people as they began to get up and flee.
A gate normally used to let regional police into ringside positions was pushed wide open by a flood of runners, causing an obstruction for others trying to enter the main arena, Interior Ministry regional spokesman Javier Morras said.
"We all know that alley is a funnel and a critically dangerous point at the entrance to the ring," Morras said. "Pileups there are one of the biggest risks that can occur in the running of the bulls," he said.
The blockage ended after attendants managed to let the beasts escape through a side door normally reserved for matadors.
Javier Sesma, a health spokesman for Navarra province, said two of the 23 injured people were gored by bulls and that the others were hurt in the stampede.
Sesma said one runner, a 19-year-old Spaniard from Vitoria city, was seriously injured when his thorax was crushed at the bull ring entrance. An Irish citizen also suffered asphyxia.
"His situation remains very grave, but he appears to be evolving favorably," Sesma said of the Spaniard. "We are hopeful. His life was at risk, but he is now more stable."
One person was gored in his buttock and another in an armpit during the 928-yard (850-meter) dash through Pamplona's narrow streets, the official said. Neither injury was serious, said the Navarra government, which organizes the annual festivities. One of those gored had received treatment in one of the two operating rooms at the bullring, Sesma said.
The rest of the injured sustained cuts and bruises.
Sesma said one spectator had a heart attack while watching the stampede. By early afternoon, nine of the injured had been discharged from hospitalization, Sesma said.
On Friday, the festival drew widespread attention when an American college student and two Spaniards were gored, and videos and photos of the attacks were seen around the world. Sesma said the American patient was "evolving favorably" in a hospital Saturday.
The number of revelers attending the festival tends to swell at weekends, causing the narrow streets of Pamplona to be thronged with runners, increasing the risk of pileups and injuries.
The festival in this northern city dates back to the late 16th century and also is known for its all-night street parties.
The runs, eight in all, are the highlight of a nine-day street festival to honor Pamplona's patron saint, San Fermin.
Each morning, six fighting bulls and six bell-tinkling steers that try to keep the beasts together head from stables to the ring where matadors will star in late afternoon bullfights.
The festivities, which end Sunday, were made famous by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises."
The fiesta attracts tens of thousands of young people, many from abroad, eager to mix alcohol with the adrenaline of running alongside the massive bulls at 8 o'clock every morning.
Dozens of people are injured each year, with gorings often producing the most dramatic injuries.
The last fatal goring happened in 2009.
