Solution
In the Mughal period, news of a famine in Bihar would have been sent to Delhi through messengers, horse riders, couriers, or the postal system (Dak Chowki). Since modern means of communication were not available, the information would have taken several days or even weeks to reach the Badshah. Consequently, the relief aid would also have taken a long time to reach the famine-affected people in Bihar.
