                British Taking Doon Valley under British Rule

       On 21st October 1814, British captured Dehra centre without any casualty. In October only, barring Khalanga (Nalapani), British captured whole Doon Valley.  Hearsay informed about the importance of Doon Letter of Hearsay to Adam, 24 August 1814). Governor General also received information from other sources about fertility and forest resources of Doon and defense strategy of Doon.
    There were easy ports in Doon for crossing Ganga and Yamuna. Adam instructed to William Frazer through letters of 22nd and 23rd for establishing administration in Doon and Kiyardoon valleys immediately.
  However, due to non capturing Nalapani, the administration was established in late November in Doon and Kiyardoon valleys. Till end of November, Frazer could not get right personnel for collecting tax and police administration. Lately at the last week of November, Frazer appointed Garhwalis for police job and tax collection. There were three types of Garhwalis seeking jobs with British government-
1-Those left jobs with Gurkha administration.
2-Those wanted who were eager to get back their properties taken by Gurkha
3-New entrants eager for getting service with British 
  Frazer was able for establishing temporary administration in Doon and Kiyardoon valleys.

                 Shivram Luring Doon People
             There was no unrest in Doon valleys after Frazer took charge. However, those villagers, village chiefs, elites ran away from their respective villages did not return. It was necessary that villagers returned their houses and take agricultural acts and other jobs in hand.  Sudarshan Shah appointed Shivram as Mukhtyar (representative) for luring people of Doon those ran away from their villages. Frazer sent a authority letter to Shivram –
  “You being a well wisher of the company is being appointed as representative of King Sudarshan Shah. You will have to pay attention on your work and to act according to benefits for the British Government. You are being appointed for luring farmers for coming back to their villages. You are handed the job for getting back the village chieftains and elites for returning and staying in their respective regions.  You have to detach all of them from Gorkha people. Whatever way you thing right do those tactics but it should be in the benefits for British. After completion the job, British will offer you the Jagir. By inspiration from Sudarshan Shah and luring by Frazer, Shivram completed his job by getting back the farmers and elites (Chieftains etc) not only in Doon valleys but in Tones Valley too.  He was successful in provoking pole against Gurkha. (English Pre mutiny record vol. 8, Dehradun)
   Frazer was happy by actions of Shiv Ram.
