Solution
Muhammad bin Tughlaq shifted his capital from Delhi to Devagiri (Daulatabad) because he thought it was more centrally located for governing both northern and southern provinces and safer from Mongol invasions. He ordered everyone to move; the harsh relocation caused suffering, and he reversed the decision after two years.
