One of the more fascinating stories in recent times has been the discovery of a 150-metre long underground British era bunker inside the Raj Bhavan complex at Malabar Hill. While reports quote Raj Bhavan officials saying that the bunker had been closed for several decades, when the Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao learnt of its existence, he decided it needed to be opened again.

The bunker is spread over 5,000 sq ft and has rooms titled Shell Store, Gun Shell, Cartridge Store, Shell Lift, Pump and Workshop. There are also lamp recesses in the gangway of the bunker. It is heartening to know that the governor is going to consult experts about preserving the bunker since it's an important and exciting part of Mumbai's history and it would be a shame to not preserve it for future generations.
