Hijli Tidal canal:1871~72

Yes, it's still existing! The 138 years old lock gate of Govt.Dockyard at Geokhali is still living with its glorious history.On 22nd August,2010 when we decided to go there to take photograph,did not expect to see the mark: GOVT DOCKYARD, CALCUTTA 1872. The steel is still strong to fight the corrosion,the rivets are still robust to take the load. But the people are forgetting,forgetting the route---only Tagore can help

them.He used to go through this water canal for his journey to Orissa.This is our heritage.We must save it.
