Scope | Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Old milestone with zero marker in Ooty, Tamil Nadu |
Used in | en:Ooty • wikidata:Q113634506 |
Reason | After India's switch to metric about 50 years ago, most milestones have been converted to kilometres with names in regional languages and painted in white/green/yellow/etc according to road classification. All new milestones are made of concrete or other synthetic material. Very few old stone milestones remain. This one at the zero location (0/0 miles/furlongs) for the town Ooty is in remarkably good condition. --Tagooty (talk) 03:57, 28 August 2022 (UTC) -- Tagooty (talk) |
