Tughlaqabad Fort : ASI To Remove Encroachments

The Delhi HC asked the ASI to remove encroachments around the Tughlaqabad Fort.

  • The Tughlaqabad Fort in Delhi which is in complete ruins now, was built by Ghiyasudddin Tughlaq.
  • Ghiyasudddin Tughlaq was the first Sultan of the Tughlaq Dynasty in 1321.
  • It lends its name to the nearby Tughluqabad residential-commercial area as well as the Tughluqabad Institutional Area.
  • Ghiyasuddin Tughluq also built the Qutub-Badarpur Road, which connected the new city to the Grand Trunk Road.
  • The road is now known as Mehrauli-Badarpur Road.
  • Surroundings are an important biodiversity area within the Northern Aravalli leopard wildlife corridor stretching from Sariska Tiger Reserve to Delhi.
