The Daring of Coimbatore

At the peak of the Quit India Movement, the people of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu pulled off a daring act of resistance. To completely freeze the movement of British troop trains, local workers and peasants teamed up under the radar to tear up the rail tracks. This fearless, middle-of-the-night strike totally wrecked the Empire’s powerful transit network. Delhivery bows to the valour of the people of Coimbatore, whose sacrifices paved our way to freedom.
