Chittagong was made the seat of a Mughul commandant and its name was changed to Islāmābād. Thousands of Bengal peasants, so long held there in serfdom by the pirates, were now released and restored to their homes. The Mughuls advanced up to the port of Rāmū, but soon abandoned it as too distant an outpost. Chittagong, however, has remained attached to Bengal ever since.
