Detailed Solution

The duty of the Muqtis is To lead military campaigns. Military generals were appointed as region governors by the Khaljis and Tughlaq rulers. The lands themselves were known as iqta, and the individuals who owned them as iqtadars or muqtis. The following procedures were implemented to ensure the muqtis' duties were carried out: supervising military operations, upholding law and order in their iqtas, collecting revenue from the iqta, paying the soldiers' salaries, and maintaining the necessary army.
