TIRKHEDI-MALPURI ZAMINDARI
Tirkhedi - Malpuri Zamindari, " This estate of the Tirora tahsil consists of two zamindaris, Tirkhedi situated between the Bagh river and Salekasa and Darekasa estates, and Malpuri to the south of Phulchur on the borders of the Sakoli tahsil. Tirkhedi has an area of 15 square miles and contains 7 villages. Most of the area is hilly but the villages along the Bagh are good ones. Malpuri
has an area of 21 square miles and has 7 villages. Much of it is forest, yielding a considerable profit. The estates have always been held together and were granted to Pandu Ponwar in 1815 as a reward for loyalty to the Maratha Government, when the Ponwar Zamindar of Warad created a disturbance [ Bhandara District Gazetteer, 1908 ed. pp. 232-233.]".
