Explanation:

The First Afghan War and the disasters it brought in its trail was heraled from Shimla’s Secretary’s Lodge, now called Chapslee Hotel and owned by the Maharaja of Kapurthala. Lord Auckland, the British Viceroy, lived in Auckland House in 1838. As the accommodation was insufficient, he converted the adjoining Chapslee into offices for his private and military secretaries. Chapslee was the venue where the ‘Simlah Manifesto’ declaring war with Afghanistan was signed on October 1, 1838.
