The Pathankot Campaign (or the Battle of Dinanagar) took place in 1775 near Awankha in pargana Dina Nagar, between a coalition led by the Bhangi Misl under Ganda Singh and the united forces of the Kanhaiyas, Sukarchakias, and Ahluwalias as part of the territorial disputes among the Sikh Misls. The victorious Kanhaiya-led coalition maintained control of Pathankot. The victory weakened the Bhangi Misl’s influence and solidified the Kanhaiya's territorial claims.[1][2]
