c21.12

The Singphos, who occupied the level tract of country extending eastwards from the Moāmariā borders across the Noā Dihing and Tengāpāni rivers, also made their submission. No revenue was demanded from them, but the Gām, or chief, of Bisa, was required to supply, if needed, a contingent of eighty men, and to give immediate information to the British authorities of anything calculated to excite apprehension that might occur in the vicinity of the Pātkai pass. This was the route traversed by the Ahoms when they first found their way to Assam, and also by the more recent Burmese invaders.
