Vintage vehicle hogs limelight at carnival

A 1942 model armoured carrier vehicle called the 'Tatanagar'remained a cynosure of the three-day Jamshedpur Carnival that kicked off here at Gopal Maidan today.
A large number of people on both sides of the road jostled to have a glimpse of the armoured carrier as the participants in a procession passed through the main thoroughfare of the steel city to the venue.
It was the first time that the vehicle was put up in exhibition as part of the carnival parade held from Jubilee park to Gopal Maidan, after it was displayed at the founder's day function on March 3 last.

Tatanagar was unveiled in Tata Motors' Jamshedpur Plant on September 28, 2014 in the presence of the Plant Leadership Team. The 'Tatanagars', each fitted with a Ford V8 engine along with armoured hulls sourced from the Railways and armoured plates, axles and tyres from Tata Steel, were the first vehicles to roll out of Tata Motors (earlier TELCO) 72 years ago, Tata Motors sources said.
