Modi inaugurates Maha Guv’s home-cum-office ‘Jal Bhushan’

Mumbai, June 14 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the swank new Jal Bhushan, the official residence-cum-office of the Maharashtra Governor, in the Raj Bhavan premises at Malabar Hill, here on Tuesday.

With a history of over 200 years, it traces its roots to the then Governor of Bombay, Mounstuart Elphinstone, who built a small bungalow called Pretty Cottage at this location between 1820-1825 where the modern-day Jal Bhushan now stands.

Since the relocation of the Arabian Sea-facing Government House at Malabar Hill in 1885, it has served as the residence of the British Governors of the erstwhile Bombay State, then the Governor of Bombay post-Independence and then the Maharashtra Governor after the states formation in 1960.Since the old structure was found to be unsafe, it was decided to construct a new building for which President R.N.Kovind laid the foundation stone in August 2019, and the newly-built imposing building retains the salient heritage features of the earlier architecture.qn/pgh #Modi #inaugurates #Maha #Guvs #Bhushan #Mumbai #Narendra Modi # Narendra Modi #Bungalow #Maharashtra #Mumbai #Heritage #Narendra.
