Diwan Ram Dayal was the governor of Hazara until his death in the Battle of Gandgarh. Seeing this, Amar Singh Majithia was installed as the new governor of the Hazara region by Maharaja Ranjit Singh right after the battle. He did not fight any major engagements until when Mohammad Khan Tarain decided to clash against him. He had assembled an army which consisted of Dhund. Tareen, Tanoli and Karlal tribesmen. After an intense battle at Taragarh, the Sikhs successfully inflicted defeat upon the Afghans and routed them.
