What is the history behind naming the loop as 'Batasia Loop'? Someone said that during developing the route map of the toy train by one British personnel, he was in trouble to prepare the line at the spot of Batasia loop because of different hight of hills. For two days he was puzzled on developing the route map. So he was not taking food properly and timely but was thinking about the same. A local housemaid, known as ' Batasia' who would prepare his food since long, observed his perplexed situation. She asked him the reason. He explained his problem to the housemaid. The housemaid told him to make an extra round of railway track around the hill to adjust the hight with next hill. The idea helped the British personnel to solve the route related problem and his proposal of making the name of the loop after that housemaid. It was accepted and since then the loop is known as 'Batasia Loop'. Probably the British personnel was known as Edward. However, I am eager to know whether the above story is fact or not.
