In July 1765 it was found necessary to undertake punitive operations against the Mikirs. Two forces were sent against them. The one entered the hills at the back of Chāpānāla, while the other ascended the Kopili and Jamuna rivers to take the offending villages in the rear. The result was most satisfactory. The two forces, having effected a junction in the hills, defeated the Mikirs and burnt down their houses and granaries. The Mikirs then came in with tribute, and begged for forgiveness.
