There are many tourist places in Himachal Pradesh which are not only famous in the country but also in the world.

However, there are also some places that not everyone knows about and where people shy away from visiting. One such place is situated at a distance of about 11 kilometers from Solan in Himachal Pradesh.

The name of this place is tainted. Dagshai is a cantonment town in Solan district in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is one of the oldest cantonment towns of Himachal Pradesh.

It is situated on the top of a 5,689 ft (1,734 m) high hill, about 11 km from Solan on the Kalka–Shimla Highway (National Highway 5).

It was established in 1847 by the East India Company by acquiring five villages free of cost from Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala.

The names of these areas were Dabbi, Badhiala, Chunnad, Jawag, and Dagshai. The new cantonment was named after Dagshai, as it was the largest of the five villages and its location was strategically most appropriate.

Earlier the Name of this Place was Daag-e-Shahi.

It is said that during the Mughal period, a person who betrayed the king was called Tag-e-Shahi, which means the royal mark.

A jail was built at this place to punish such criminals. Gradually the name of this place became Dagshai. This jail was known as Himachal’s black water at that time.

There are many Ghost Stories told

Many ghost stories are told about this place even today. According to a popular story, a prisoner in Dagshai Jail was subjected to severe interrogation and harsh punishment, due to which he died in jail.

It is said that even today the spirit of the prisoner lives here. At that time, this jail became famous as the black water of Himachal.

British Major’s Wife’s Grave was in Dagshai

At the time of British rule in the country around 1909 a British Major George Weston used to live in Dagshai with his wife Mary. Major was a doctor and his wife was a nurse, but they had no children.

Distressed by this, both of them met a saint. The saint blessed both of them in the form of a talisman, after some time both of them got the good news of becoming parents. But Major’s wife died in the eighth month of pregnancy.

At that time Major buried his wife and unborn child in Dagshai and made a very beautiful tomb for them. It is said that the marble used in this tomb was imported from England.

Over time, many stories related to Mary’s tomb spread among the local people. It is said that the people living here believed that a pregnant woman who took a piece of marble from the tomb of Mary would give birth to a son.

Many people started taking marble from here in the greed of the birth of a son, due to which the beautiful structure of Mary’s tomb started deteriorating.

Many say that Mary’s spirit began to haunt her grave everyday for the living. Many people also claim to have seen the spirit of Mary at work here.

Due to AIIMS and Four-lane, the Price of Bilaspur land Increased up to 40 Times

online challan Kiratpur-Nerchowk four-lane

Shimla: With the construction of AIIMS and Fourlane, the land prices in Bilaspur have increased up to 40 times.

The cost of five to 10 lakh per bigha land has now reached up to two crore rupees. The land around AIIMS and Fourlane is being sold in full swing. The land along the railway line has also been sold.

In this, not only the state, people from outside states are also buying land. People are giving land at higher prices than those given by the Railways, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), and the Central Government.

The prices of land on the Kiratpur-Nerchowk four-lane, including Mandi-Bharadi, Jakatkhana, Dhaliar, Tunhu, Patta Kallar and Baghi-Mehla, were in the range of 25 thousand to 50 thousand per biswa before the four-lane was made. Now the prices have reached eight lakh to 10 lakh per biswa.

Before AIIMS started, the cost of land on the national highway in Kothipura was Rs 1 lakh per biswa. Now this price has become 10 to 12 lakhs per biswa.

There was no market here before AIIMS started. Even if people had sold the land under compulsion, they would have got five lakhs per bigha of land. Now the cost of the same land has increased to more than two crores per bigha.

Private price more than land acquisition of government projects

The highest compensation of 86 lakh per bigha has been received from the government in the acquisition of rail line land.

Bandla’s land prices increased from Hydro Engineering College

Due to the formation of Hydro Engineering College in Bandla Dhar of Bilaspur, the cost of land here has also increased.

About three-kilometer long ropeway is proposed from Bandla Dhar to Bilaspur. For this reason, also people are trying to buy land here.

Shimla-Mataur four-lane will also increase the land prices

Due to the Shimla-Mataur four-lane under construction, people are buying land on this four-lane. Because of this, the prices of land are increasing.

Under section 118 only a few people from outside states in the district have applied to buy land for business.

Most of the land in these areas is being bought by the people of the state itself. There is no involvement of the administration regarding the prices of the purchase and sale of land at the private level.
