The Tughlaq time building incorporate the Kushak-i-Shikar, a disintegrating baoli and one of the two Ashokan Rock Edict going back to third century BC that Firuz Shah Tughlaq moved to Delhi.
Worked in 1857, the flagstaff tower is the most elevated purpose of the North Delhi (Kamla Nehru) Ridge and was a point of convergence of the revolt of 1857. The British authorities were sitting tight for support from Karnal that never came and once the news of spreading viciousness, revolting and kill achieved, they whole assembling left Flagstaff Tower and fled towards Karnal and Ambala by walking.
Kushk-i-Shikar likewise alluded to as the Pir Ghaib is a standout amongst the most intriguing structures in North Delhi Ridge.
