Qila Mohammadi Nagar, Banglabazar, Lucknow

The Qila Mohammadi Nagar at Banglabazar, Lucknow
was renamed Qila Bijli Pasi by the BSP government
under Chief Minister Mayawati.
I have searched the internet but couldn't find any
information on Maharaja Bijli Pasi or the fort.
Who built it? No information is available.
I first visited this place 40-odd years ago, many
years before the government took charge of the site.
The walls of the fort are just dried earth and the four corners
must have had some sort of brick fortifications.
