It is the only hill of its kind in India; Gilbert Hill was declared a National Park in 1952 by the Central Government under the Forest Act. In 2007, after years of lobbying by geologists, the hill was declared a Heritage Grade- II structure by the Maharashtra state Government and Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), and all quarrying and other activities around the monument were prohibited. Over the period of time, the 200-foot-high vertical columns of the Gilbert hill are similar to the Devils Tower in Wyoming, and the Devils Post Pile National Monument in eastern California, USA and Gilbert Hill is one of only two Hills in the world of the same type. The other one is in USA, the Devil's Tower.<br /> Gilbert Hill which is now been declared heritage-II, by Mumbai Municipal Corporation and a huge area has been earmark as the boundaries of the declared heritage, now it is threatened by a rash of urban constructions around the pre-historical monolith.<br />All development in area surrounding Heritage Grade-II shall be regulated and controlled, ensuring that it does not pose any problems or view of Heritage Grade-II.<br /> Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act–2010 state that the limits of prohibited area and regulated area around the monuments, archaeological sites and remains declared by the Central Government as protected have been specified in the principal Act as 100 meters and 200 meters.<br />However the there are huge progress of construction and development of surrounding and adjoining area of Heritage. <br /><br /><br />KEY FOUNDATION [INDIA ]https://www.blogger.com/profile/14089162636872535732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203604655093315663.post-23808543019503342102013-11-02T18:37:04.624-07:002013-11-02T18:37:04.624-07:00Being expert in imaging and scanning large scale o...Being expert in imaging and scanning large scale objects using the latest technology I wonder if I could participate in a project aimed at preserving Indian historical monuments, buildings, outdoor/indoor points of interest.
