              After British reaching and capturing Dehradun, the Kamin, Sayana and villagers of Salan (South Garhwal) were ready for rebelling against Gurkha. Bagha Raut of Salan sent altter to Tularam about villagers being ready against Gurkha. TDue to circumstances, British did not send the army either in Alaknand valley or Chilkha-Kotdwara belt. Adjutant General Fagan visited Moradabad and Governor General visited Haridwar but they did not send the army to South Garhwal.  When British army captured Chamuakhal region of Bhagirathy valley Gurkha army made Shrinagar as their centre for army. Lieutenant Colonel Gardner established Army camps in various places of Kumaon. Estblishing army camps in Kumaon, British cut the communication line for Gurkha between Shrinagar Garhwal and Kumaon.

      Enthusiastically, Garhwalis of east Garhwal and Kumaonis of west Kumaon started resisting Gurkha administration.  There were 150 Gurkha soldiers in Lobhagarh, The Garhwali soldiers from Lobhagarh region stopped water supply for Gurkha soldiers in Lobhagarh Fort. By getting weapons from Gardner, Garhwalis attacked on Gurkha too. On 22^nd April 1815, Gurkha soldiers ran away from Lobhagarh for Shrinagar. This was a type of revolution against Gurkha from civilians in Garhwal.
