Detailed Solution

The first railway line connecting Bombay with Thane was built in 1953 in India. The country's then Governor-General, Lord Dalhousie, devised a complex plan in 1953 to build railways that would connect the nation's remote areas. The first railway line was laid down between Mumbai and Thane. Following that, the railway network quickly grew. By 1890, the British government had successfully laid 25,500 kilometres of railroad tracks. It utilised a vast railway network to connect different regions of the nation. However, due to the rising demand for wood, the introduction of railways had a negative impact on forests.
