Consider the following paragraph: In 1803, a Governor-General wrote a Minute (an administrative order) emphasizing the need for town planning and set up various committees for the purpose. Many bazaars, ghats, burial grounds, and tanneries were cleared or removed. The idea of 'public health' became central to town clearance and town planning projects. After this Governor-General's departure, the work was continued by the Lottery Committee (1817) with government support, which later commissioned a new map of the city to get a comprehensive picture of Calcutta. Who was the Governor-General mentioned in the passage?
