[6] In 1398, Timur invaded the Delhi Sultanate and on his way he attacked Hanumangarh Fort (Bhatner at that time) defended by its ruler Rao Daljit and his cousin with only 10,000 men.

Timur wrestled the fortifications, slayed all the men and enslaved all of the women and children of the Garrison along with their citizens.

The 1700-year-old Bhatner fort is situated in the middle of Hanumangarh Town, the description of which can be found in Ain-i-Akbari.

3 Hanumangarh to Sri Ganganagar passenger trains are running on the broad gauge track.

This track provides smooth rail traffic between two strategically important cantonments at Jaisalmer (Rajasthan) and Udhampur (J&k) via Hanumangarh, Sri Ganganagar and Firozpur.
