Land Reclamation in Bombay - Work, life and Leisure (Civics), CBSE Class

so now land reclamation bill I think for
the first time we are hearing the ran
lik emission bill or land reclamation
base the land reclamation bill is
nothing but occupying the empty land
which were once awkward where the sea or
the marshy track regions are being
reborn back into the existing land
levels so how this has been possible
involvement that's what we are going to
discuss now the land determination in
Bombay the land reclamation in Bombay
has been a very drastic step which has
been required during that time who was
the father or the main person who
initiated this process the person who
initiated this process was William
Harvey in 1784 William Harvey in 1784
the then governess initiated the process
of building the great seawall so if you
build a great seawall a seawall which is
stopping the sea from further coming
inside into the land region so when a
sea wall has been built that would
automatically result in the stop of the
water and the land which has been left
out it was initially been occupied by
the sea would become an empty land which
will be giving extra scope to encroach
into that land by the people so as a
requirement of the land increased the
British officials of during that time
decided to build a great sea wall which
is on demand so now Williams Hardy plans
to build a great civil the great sea
wall was built under the process to
claim the lost land to the sea simple we
can divide the word three do it
something again claim get it back action
so reach clinics three clamps getting
back to the action of the land which has
been initially was a land but initially
it was good
later witness he expanded it came to
this part and brought this land also
under the influence of the
now we are restricting the influence of
the sea by building a great sea wall
that's what the process of reclamation
this reclamation has proved a very very
positive sign towards the growth of
Bombay because the additional commercial
place it is required placed because it
is growing day to day business private
as well as the government offices
private industries all need place so the
several plants have been planted in
order to get the excess land or the
liquor mentioned land from Bombay this
reclamation land is highly required
because of the necessity and the growth
of the demand for land so finally even
the private owners are ready to risk
their money in order to get this land in
built because they need land and they
need to do their business in most of the
cases nearly all the path which has been
shut down because of the lack of land
and proper proper facilities are not
being provided so finally the Back Bay
which has been built has added for
Mumbai or the Bombay 22 square miles of
land which was a very huge land added
and this land has been profitably or
successfully completed from 1914 to 1918
during the period of World War one in
Bombay
the Bombay for truck has perfectly
completed this one after they completed
this one they have established the 22
acre land it weighs the large estate the
Ballard estate is a place where today we
have the marine prime of Bombay which is
very very fenced so that's how the
Bombay got its land expanded by having
land reclamation wall so this is how
some cities grow by adding the land of
the nearby suburban region but here
Bombay it got its own
and back by pushing aside the see is it
really possible to push aside a see no
we are just stopping the flow of the
water
by building a great wall so that this
land can be positively used for human
inhabitation that's what happened here
in the ranch lack of land reclamation in
bondage land reclamation Bombay was
started by William Harvey in 1784 this
man was the governor during that period
of the Bombay presidency who initiated
the process to build a great seawall his
intention was to start the process of
reclamation and the what is the purpose
for him to go towards the ideology of
building a wall there his ideology is
building a war was he needs land for the
government purpose and also for the
private companies so you know the
private company people are ready to risk
their financial amount to get the land
back or to find some land in Bombay to
do their business sale situations are
becoming worse the private companies are
daily feeling very bad to circulate the
problem of land acquisition so that's
how the need has triggered to build a
great wall that is the back bay in
sweeden 64 which was having 22 square
miles to Bombay geographical area later
on 1914 to 1918 Bombay Port Trust has
made it 22 acre
ballade estate which is now famous as
the Maryland drives of Bombay
that's how the land reclamation in
Bombay has been approved positive
advantage for the growth of Bombay not
only in the geographical aspects but
also just really politically and also to
get financial resources dumplings
towards Bombay which obviously gave
chance for the opportunities to grow
much larger and larger if you liked this
