The tomb of Safdar Jang, or Mansur Ali Khan, described _ante_,
chapter 68 [4]. The bridges over the Jumna are now, of course,
maintained by Government and the railway companies.
3. The main highways approaching Delhi are now excellent metalled
roads.
4. By the term 'the largest military station in the empire', the
author means Meerut. At present the largest military station in
Northern India is, I believe, Rawal Pindi, and the combined
cantonments of Secunderabad and Bolarum in the Nizam's dominions
constitute the largest military station in the empire.
5. Comprising parts of the Meerut and Muzaffarnagar districts of the
North-Western Provinces, now the Agra Province in the United
Provinces of Agra and Oudh. The Begam's history will be discussed in
chapter 75, _post_.
6. The members of the reformed police force, constituted under Act V
of 1861, generally on the model of the Royal Irish Constabulary, have
no reason to complain of insecurity of tenure. It is now very
difficult to obtain sanction to the dismissal of a corrupt or
inefficient officer, unless he has been judicially convicted of a
statutory offence.
