Chhibramau

Chhibramau (or Chibramau) is a nagar palika parishad and a subdivision (tehsil) of Kannauj district in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India.

The Raja did not oppose a British armed unit led by Sir James Hope Grant when it marched through the district in October, but in December he heard that Brigadier Seaton was coming with a small force from Etah to join General Walpole at Mainpuri, and advanced to Kuraoli with the intention of barring the road.

Seaton, however, easily outmaneuvered the local forces, and the rebels fled in disorder, losing eight guns and about a hundred men.

Accompanied by his second-in-command, McDowell, and 75 men, he rode across a countryside swarming with rebels to carry despatches to the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Colin Campbell.

At Bewar they found a party sent by Seaton, who had heard of the disaster, and next day marched to Chibramau himself, joining forces there with Brigadier Walpole on 3 January and proceeding with him to Fatehgarh.
