Hyderabad is known for its historical monuments constructed by Qutub Shahi Rulers which attract the tourists throughout the world. Qutub Shahi kings constructed a grand fort a little bit away from Hyderabad City and named it Sultan Nagar. A gigantic fort was also constructed there on a sprawling land of 5000 acres. Sultan Mohammed Qutub Shah (1620-1630) had also laid its foundation. A sum of Rs. 14 lakh was also spend on this fort. Sultan Nagar is an area little bit away from Dilsuknagar which is now called Lal Bahadur Nagar.
Due to the negligence of the officials of the Dept. of Archeology, the fort has lost it identity and the communal elements have changed its name from Sultan Nagar fort to Maisamma fort. Temples have also been constructed in this area. A mosque was also constructed in the fort area which is a marvelous monument of Islamic architecture. The work relating to the construction of fort was abandoned before it could be completed since the king had died. It was mentioned that due to non-availability of water. During the period of construction of fort, cattle were left for grazing. They refuse to eat the grass and other herbs of that area. It was therefore thought that it may not be advisable to inhabit people in that area. Due to these reasons the construction of the fort was abandoned.
The Dept. of Archeology should wakeup and restore its grandeur.
