Protective works and Reclamation
To protect the people from nature’s
vagaries is an urgent duty of those in authority. Very little work,
however, appears to have been done in Kathiawad in this connection.
Villages are left alone to the ravages of flood. Over and above this
danger to life and property, the frequent stoppages in work hamper
moral and material progress.
In the
process of inter-linking villages with pucca roads, the flood
prevention schemes are invariably taken in hand with result that
villages are saved from floods and a great deal of land is reclaimed
and made available for building sites.
Such
protective works have been constructed at many villages such as
Mespar, Hadamtala, Khilori, Paneli, Khambhalia, Nagvadar, Varjang
Jalia, Devchadi, Nagalkhada and Kalana.
The
practice of selecting a site for the State buildings and the works
of like nature, is such that cut-up and denuded lands are made use
of. This results in very useful reclamation schemes.
