Train services on Eastern Railway’s Sealdah, Howrah and Asansol divisions were disrupted as strikers threw banana leaves on overhead wires leading to power failure in Canning and some other parts of the suburban network.
An Eastern Railway media release said strike supporters obstructed rail movement at Shantipur, Gede, Plassey, Bongaon, Madhyamgram, Chandpara and Hasnabad stations.
DO YOU THINK BENGAL DESERVES A NOBEL PRIZE FOR PHYSICS for disrupting electrical circuits with BANANA LEAVES. ARE WE NOT PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN TO HAVE MADE SUCH A GREAT SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD.

Re# 359785-66                  
Yes Sri IRF. I searched for electrical properties and could not succeed. But I found the article in your link more interesting. So I served it on plate (banana leaf) for ready consumption.
.
N.B: I feel more comfortable to get the information in the blog itself than to visit the link page. Does anybody else feel like me?

I feel the same as you do sir. Prefer ready-to-eat food to ready-to-cook food. My thanks to both you and IRF for bringing us the charm and utility of BANANA LEAVES other than for DISRUPTIVE PURPOSES.
BTW, one of the best South Indian restaurants in Kolkata, located adjacent to KOMALA VILAS in the LAKE MARKET area, is called BANANA LEAF.

Re# 359785-69                  
it's not like that pramodh. the flow of current will stop at the point where the insulator comes. it doesn't flow like wind that it can pass through some gap.
