Dehli Multan Road


Delhi Multan Road (Urdu: دہلى مُلتان روڈ‎), ancient route had existed since the time of king Ashoka or earlier, was renovated by the Delhi Sultanate ruler Sher Shah Suri (1486–1545) in order to improve transit in the areas between Delhi and Multan, leading to Kandhar and Herat in Afghanistan, eventually to Mashhad capital of Khorasan province of Iran, providing access to capital city Ashgabat of Turkmenistan."

There were small posts every few miles where horses were ready to receive messages to send from one post to another. Messages from the Delhi court were reaching Multan, which was around 500 miles away, within days.

On the Indian side, it passed through Rohtak, Meham, Asigarh Fort at Hansi, Firoz Shah Palace Complex at Hisar, Fatehabad, Ratia, Bhatinda and Malout, etc.
