KOLGHAT BRIDGE ON NH 16

 The  KOLGHAT  bridge is key bridge of some 800 meters in lenghth on the RupNarayan river midway between Kharagpur  and Kolkata on the NH-16 which connects  CHENNAI  to KOLKATA..There are seperate rail and road bridges.

I was travelling on this route few years back and mis-took it to be the HOWRAH bridge until a faculty from this part of the world teaching at the Indian Statistical Institute gave me a clear picture of things.This bridge appears vividly on the trail on NH-16.

The city of KOLKATA and its surroundings have many prominent bridges and could be confused with each other; names like the Hoogly Bridge, the Vidyasagar bridge and the Howrah bridge.Each of these bridges must be studied independantly to understand their position and orientation.

There are two road bridges here the old one built in 1960's and the new one part of NH 16 in 1998 or so.

THE TELICHERRY FORT

 The Telicherry fort was a key domain of contentions and contests from time to time.During the auspicious day of VISHU this year just happened to visit this fort.

Compared with the Cannanore fort it is small and miniscule and must have come  earlier than the Cannnanore fort ..but its time of origin is unclear to me and the Fort looks more like a Watch Tower.

Within the confines of this fort operated the EIC(East India Company) and its administrative machinery..the Fort being secured from Tippu Sultan who had a sway over this Fort for nearly a decade and a key trading post. Today there is a Hospital adjacent to the Fort which must have been part of the Fort and a small parade ground.

In the center of the fort I saw a abandoned heavy machinery marked PETERSBUROUGH on it.I mistook it to be some left-over ordnance.I had a discussion with Nick Balmer who told me that Petersburough was a place where he grew up and is full of organizations that make agricultural machinery and this heavy equipment is possibly a weed cutting machine when run over a terrain it cut weeds like a lawn-mover.

The Fort overloooks the sea here and the Arabian Sea looks imposing from the Fort.
