The people of Paroom under the ruler of the main fort, always defended their territory. From the ballads we get information that one of the rulers, Khoda Murad was killed by the invading Damani tribes from Sistan. Again when the Nosharwanis attacked Paroom to make it as a subordinate, Khoda Kamaaln defended the territory and killed the Sardar of Nosharwani, Sardar Abdullah at a battle in Sorcheel.
