Background and Battle
Maharaja Ranjit Singh deployed Hari Singh Nalwa. He marched by Muzaffarabad and Pakhli with 7,000 foot soldiers under his command.[3] When he reached Mangal, he found around 25,000 troops and their leader, Mohammad Khan Tarain, who opposed the Sikh's passage attacked the Sikhs.[4] Despite being outnumbered, the Sikhs defeated their opponents with a loss of 2,000 men.[5]
Aftermath
The Jaduns to save their town paid down a fine of 5 and a half rupees per house to the Sikhs.[6][3] Hari Singh Nalwa then build a fort at Nawanshahr.[7] The Maharaja partly pleased with treasures and partly to reward his lieutenant for the victory, made Hari Singh Nalwa the governor of the entirety of Hazara.[3][7]
