CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Shahab Nahr. Firuz Shah constructed two canals, the Rajab-wah and the Ulugh-Khani to supply water to his new city of Hisar Firozah. Rajab-wah was cut from river Jamuna, Ulugh-khani from Sutlej. Shahab Nahr was constructed by restoring the Rajabwah of Firuz Shah. Under the Delhi Sultanate, it was Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, in the Tughlaq dynasty, was the first Sultan who thought of opening canals and probably did some minor work on a very small scale. Muhammad Tughlaq gave advance money to the people for digging wells to arrange water for irrigation which helps to cover more area for cultivation.
