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.

Mai bataa hu iskaa itihash
Mere dada ne nujhe bataya ki akhir ye hai kyaa
Ye killa Britishers ka thaa yaha ek pasi naukri k taur pr iski dekhbhaal kartaa tha or Lucknow k nwabo ki shevaa krtaa tha jb desh aajaad huaa to isne apna ghr bnaa liya isko.
Uske marne kbaad uske vansh me koi nahi thaa to ye aise hi pada rahta tha
Fir ise jamidaaro ne apne kabje me le liyaa
Iske baad jb LDA ne jameen lenaa chalu kiyaa to ise bhi lenaa chahte the isse bachane k liye ise ASI ghosit kr ise killa k roop me bnaa diyaa gyaa
Hr chij jaisi dikh rahi hai vo waiai hi ho jaruri nahi. Kuch alg bhi huaa ho saktaa thaa. ..
