Malik Ambar Designs The Neher System

Malik Amber is especially famous for the Neher, the water system, (Aurangabad) the rendering of which to this day is a miracle. His plan for the Nehar was met with sarcasm and ridicule. Vazir Mullah Mohammad declared it as a preposterous fancy which would require 'Um-Re-Noh' (Noh’s life span), 'Sab-Re-Ayub' ( Ayub’s patience), 'Khazana-Kharun' ( Kharun’s treasure). But Malik Ambar completed the Neher within fifteen months, spending a nominal sum of two and a half lakhs. This city is situated on the banks of river Kham, a small perennial stream which takes it’s rise in the neighbouring hill. "

The famous Panchakki (Pan means Water and Chakki means tread-mill )was supplied with the water of Naher Aye Ambri, the blades of the Panchakki used to rotate by the water which used to falls on the blades of Panchakki. The tower of water ( which used to work as a Valve to bring out air )are still present in the old city Aurangabad in Labor colony, Junabazar area and many other are present in the city .
