'''Burail Fort''' is a fort situated in present Sector 45 of [[Chandigarh]], India. It was built during the [[Mughal period]].<ref name="Dhillon2013">{{cite book|last=Dhillon|first=Harish|title=First Raj of the Sikhs: The Life and Times of Banda Singh Bahadur|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Vg89BAAAQBAJ&pg=PT96|year=2013|publisher=Hay House, Inc|isbn=978-93-81398-39-5|page=96|via=Google Books}}</ref> It remained under the control of the Mughal Faujdar up till 1712 CE. The Faujdar was very harsh to the public. He used to keep every newly married woman with him for a few days before sending her to her husband. People complained against him to [[Banda Singh ]], who sent the [[Khalsa Army]], which captured the fort and killed the Faujdar.<br />
