MIRZA IBDAL BAIG LAHORI AURANGZEBS FAVOURITE KOTWAL
FROM LAHORE TO AURANGABAD TO SHAHJAHANAABAD
The first influx in Hindustan was from Kabul and Herat. The direction was Lahore. From Lahore people moved to the new city of Shahjahanabad. When Emperor Aurangzeb preferred residence in his city Aurangabad a lot of people migrated from Lahore to that city. One such character is Mirza Ibdal Baig, a favourite Kotwal of Emperors. There can be no doubt that he was trustworthy and brought discipline where ever he went. Without character and attributes he would not have remained in his position for long. The Kotwals of Lahore were famous. An older blog of ours carry information about Kotwals of Lahore. Check again and enjoy! http://blog.chughtaimuseum.com/?p=550
Purani Kotwalli in centre of city Lahore is famous as place of police officers of Lahore. Then they shifted outside Delhi Gate and then onwards. But efficiency went down and down.
