    1. [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] A Tunnel connecting to the Fort in Bombay
    2. Arvind Kolhatkar
    3. Dear Listers, I came across the following interesting article about an underground tunnel that connects the location of today's St George's Hospital to the Fort in Bombay. The tunnel apparently dates back to the early British days of Bombay, when the British had rivals like the Dutch, the Portuguese and the Marathas. The existence of the tunnel has been within the knowledge of a few, though it was not widely known. The article also has some photos of the interior of the tunnel. The article incorrectly mentions that St George's Hospital stands on the site of the earlier Fort St George. This is not so. Fort St George was the name of the British fort after which the area in South Bombay known today as 'Fort' has been named. The article may be seen at http://www.mumbaimirror.com//index.aspx?page=article&sectid=2&contentid=2010061820100618043141898163c02cc Arvind Kolhatkar, Toronto, June 21, 2010.
