Adi Ganga
The Adi Ganga, also known as Gobindapur Creek or Tolly's Canal, is a historic waterway in West Bengal. Originally, it was the main channel of the Ganga River flowing through Kolkata and its surrounding areas. Over time, the river's course shifted, and the Hooghly River became the primary channel.
The Adi Ganga was revived in the 18th century by the British colonial government, who excavated Tolly's Canal to create a more direct route for ships.
Today, the Adi Ganga faces significant environmental challenges. It has been heavily polluted and encroached upon, with illegal buildings and waste contributing to its degradation. Efforts are underway to revive the river, with central funds and international projects aiming to address the pollution and restore its natural flow.
