After his failure to take Mathurapur, the Ahom general turned against Garhgaon and attacked it every night. He burnt down all the houses of the Rajah and the nobles outside the bamboo palisade of the city and in its environs. But Mir Jumla strengthened the defence by sending Farhad Khan (14th June) there. The fortifications of the city were improved and rearranged. Vigorous sorties were made to dislodge the enemy from the gardens and stockades in the neighbourhood.
