Despite being monitored by Delhi High Court and occasionally even by Supreme Court, work on a survey to weed out encroachers and preserve the historic Tughlaqabad Fort appears to be going around in circles.
About Tughlaqabad Fort:
It is located in South Delhi.
It was built by the founder of the Tughlaq Dynasty, Ghiyas-ud-din-Tughlaq in 1321.
Ghias-ud-din Tughlaq, also called Ghazi Malik, was the slave who served Sultan Mubarak Khilji of the Khilji Dynasty.
Ghazi Malik drove away the Khilji ruler and built his city of Tughlaqabad and the fort.
Established as the 3rd historic city, the fort was later abandoned in 1327 after a curse given by Nizamuddin Auliya.
Features:
The fort is divided into three parts: the main city area with houses built along a rectangular grid between its gates, the citadel with a tower at its highest point known as Bijai-Mandal, and the adjacent palace area containing the royal residences.
On the southern side of the fort is the tomb of Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, which was built in 1325 AD by the ruler himself.
Ghiyas-ud-din's successor, Muhammad Tughluq (1325-51), added the small fortress of ‘Adilabad on the hill south of Tughluqabad, with which it shares the main characteristics of construction.
