METRO TRAINS

History about metro trains

The transportation problem in India drew the attention of city planners and also the government of India. As the population of India is massive, there had to be some way to cope up with the transportation problems. With a view to find out an alternative for these sufferings of the people of India, Dr. B. C. Roy, the chief minister of West Bengal was the first person to give the idea of building an underground railway. This foundation was first laid by Smt. Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India and the construction work started in December 1973. In India, underground trains are called ‘metro’, in London they are called ‘Tubes’ and in America are known as ‘Subways’. In London, metro trains have started almost a hundred years ago.

THE WITTY COMPETITION

Once a king had announced that whoever could bring a thing which could neither be wet nor be burnt, will be awarded a prize of five hundred gold coins. Everybody was talking about this competition. At the day of competition every inch of the court was filled with people. Then a boats man presented a lotus which could never be wet but it could be burnt. A sculptor brought a stone statue but it could get wet. After that many people come but no one succeeded. At last a youth came and said that he did not have anything but he was making it in front of everybody. He went in a corner where sunlight was falling. He kept the hand in such a way that the shadow would fall on the wall. This could neither get wet nor be burnt. The king was very happy and rewarded the man and also made the man his minister.
