Exasperated by this outbreak of lawlessness, the implacable Sultan proceeded towards Katehar with the main body of his army, and in his usual relentless manner gave orders for the des- truction of the rebels. Terrible carnage followed and "the blood of the rioters ran in streams; heaps of the slain were to be seen near every village and jungle, and the stench of the dead reached as far as the Ganges.” The whole district was ravaged, and the royal army seized a vast amount of booty. ; Woodcutters were sent into the jungles to cut roads, and road- making proved more efficacious in establishing order than punitive expeditions. Having suppressed the outlaws, the Sultan led an expedition into the mountains of Jud and chastised the hill tribes.
