Sangram Durg fort located in Chakan near Pune.
On 21st June 1660, Shaista Khan surrounded the fort with a strong army of 20 thousand men. Inside the fort 300-400 Maratha warriors, having sufficient supply of food and ammunition, kept on defending the fort courageously. They used cannons, pistols and raided the Mughals during nights. Many days passed without any result. Then, Shaista Khan ordered to construct an underground tunnel going up to the Bastion on North-East side of the fortification.
The 55th day, 14 August 1660, that tunnel packed with explosives was lit. The blast created a huge gaping in the wall. Almost 75 Marathas guarding the bastion were killed and the Mughals attempted a break-in. But Marathas fought back and did not allow this. On 15th August 1660, Mughals launched a severe assault. Holding to citadel, Marathas fought with vigor but due to draining energy and resources, they couldn’t withstand the attack. Firangoji Narsala decided to counter-attack but was captured. The fort subsequently was surrendered to the Mughals.
