A History of Assam c23.67

c23.67

The State had become forfeit, but, after full consideration, it was decided to re-grant it; and Chura Chandra, a youthful scion of a collateral line, was placed upon the throne. During his minority, a considerable part of which he spent in the Chiefs' College at Ajmer, the administration of the State was conducted by the Political Agent, as Superintendent, and numerous reforms were effected. Better judicial tribunals were introduced, the land revenue administration was carefully revised, and the old system of forced labour was abolished. The boundaries of the State were defined; steps were taken to disarm the hill tribes, and a cart road was opened from Imphāl, the capital, to Kohima.
