During the reign of Alauddin Khilji, several market reforms were implemented to streamline the revenue collection system. He appointed officers known as Shahna-i-Mandi to supervise and regulate each market. These officers were responsible for ensuring fair trade practices, preventing hoarding and black-marketing, and collecting taxes efficiently. The term "Shahna-i-Mandi" refers to the superintendent or in-charge of the market. The statement about Munhiyans is not correct in the context of Alauddin Khilji's market reforms.
