At the same period , Gurkha/Nepal officers in Kumaon also started their spies in Kashipur and other plains areas for getting information about British army. Most probably, the spies were Kumaunis, Garhwalis and a few people from plains. Gurkha/Nepalese officers used pay to spies. On 24th January 1815, John Adam sent a letter to Edward Gardner wherein he detailed the identities such as dressing etc of Gurkha spies working in plains. There was an poster /advertising poster wherein there was instruction for capturing Gurkha spies and their papers. Gardner copied that advertising poster and distributed in Police Camps of Kashipur. By that act, British army captured many Gurkha spies and papers with them.

The East India Company High Command instructed L. Colonel Gardner and Edward Gardner in details for Kumaon Campaign. L. Colonel Gardner had to follow the instruction of Edward Gardner. Governor General had full confidence that both the officers would act smoothly for Kumaon Campaign.

On 21st December 1814, from Nazibabad Camp, adjutant General G.H. Fagan wrote letter for L. Colonel Gardner,” High command decided that there would be attack on Kumaon from two sides. The suggestion is that light attack would be campaigned through Chilkiyaghat and heavy attack to be campaigned through Timlaghate –Pilibhit-Bareli region. However, you both should decide where to act attack effectively. After capturing the Ghat you should establish temporary camp at nearby Hill top. By establishing temporary camp for Guns you would campaign further easily
You should establish a depot near Almora that you easily capture Almora city.

British Gaining Sympathy from Kumaunis

Governor General was taking action with care after Khalanga defeat. He was cautious about hills of Uttarakhand and Himachal. The temporary Rohila soldiers were not devotee as Hindu soldiers. British army could not offer suitable training to temporary Rohila soldiers too. Rohila cavalry was expert in battles in plains but was not suitable in fighting Gurkha in Hills of Kumaon and Garhwal. Therefore, for capturing Kumaon, it was essential that British gain sympathy of Kumaunis of hills.
High command instructed Gardner brothers that at every stage they have to gain the sympathy of local Kumaunis. Fagan instructed L. Colonel Gardner that the British army should gain sympathy of Kamin, Sayanas and other influential people of Kumaon villages coming in Campaign Path. By getting sympathy from local Kumaunis British army could hand over the camp to Kumaunis.

Lal Singh was brother of Ex Kumaon King Mohan Chand. Governor General declared capturing Kumaon under British rule. However, Governor General and his team was not ready for offering Jagir to any hiers of Chand family. Governor General instructed Edward Gardner nt to take any action that nay family members of Chand dynasty started working for claiming their rights on Kumaon territory. Governor General instructed that Edward and team should not take any help from Chand family or those are aspirants for Kumaon territory. It was thought that Kumaon subject would not like Chand kings.
There were other aspirants for Kumaon Kingdom-
1-The heirs of King Lakshmi Chand living in Pareva village of Kota pargana
2-Heirs of King Kalyan Chand living in Joba village of Sor Pargana
3-Many heirs of King Rudra Chand
4- Hiers of Jodhsingh Katehariya whose son was married to daughter of King Deep Chand.
British administrators preferred Bamshah than Lal Singh for future ruler of Kumaon territory. Edward Gardner was asked for finding more details about Lal Singh. Edward informed that “It was found that Mohan Chand ruled for a span of time by getting help of Rohila solders who terrorized the Kumaon territory. There was Gurkah rule in Kumaon for 25 years.
Therefore, it is not advisable to make Lal Singh as ruler of Kumaon. “ Governor General was pleased to know those facts.
