Another story goes with Tees Hazari – When the Mughal Emperor came to know that Sikhs were planning to attack Delhi, as sufficient quantity of food and other essential commodities were stocked in the fort; he ordered that all gates of the fort be closed so that the Sikhs camping in the jungles would soon run out of rations and go back.

Some of the Sikhs accidentally came across a mason from the neighbourly village who informed them that a particular place in the wall of the fort had caved in from inside though the exterior was intact. He also agreed to lead the Sikhs and show them this spot.

The Sikhs planned to ram the wall with logs to make a hole in the wall to enter the fort through. This place is now called “Mori Gate” and this is where the Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT) in present Delhi is located.

Dhan Sikhi! Dhan Khalsa!
