Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Chieftains fortified themselves in mountains and rocky areas.
Local Chieftains controlled the Gangetic plain's forested regions, which the Delhi Sultanate could not conquer during their reign. In his voyage diaries, Ibn Battuta listed the following elements.
Chieftains built defences for themselves in bamboo groves, on rocky, uneven terrain, and in mountain ranges. The bamboo groves in India are substantial yet not hollow. They do not readily catch fire.
The bamboo forests that served as barriers for the chieftains also housed their livestock, crops, and rainwater collection systems. These dense woodlands were impenetrable unless invaded by a strong army with specialised tools for cutting down the bamboo.
