'A new motor road between Kerman and Shahdad via Kupaya was built
by private enterprise and opened in February. By this road Shahdad is
100 miles from Kerman and light touring cars can do the journey in about
6 hours. J Ul
The Tang-i-Zagh section of the Kerman—Bandar Abbas motor road
was much improved and widened. There were very few accidents on thi
dangerous pass and the loss of life in accidents was greatly reduced. 8
The Governor-General submitted a suggestion to Tehran to make a
motor road to Bandar Abbas via Jiruft at an approximate cost of Rials
5,000,000 (about £62,500). He has strongly recommended the construction
of this road as he thinks, Jiruft, which is the most fertile district of the
province will benefit greatly by being linked to the Provincial capital and
given a means of egress to the export markets.
The Kerman—Zahidan motor road via Bam was open throughout the
year. The sandi stretch between Farah-Shourgouz-Mil Naderi has not been
improved. Lorries use the road regularly, however, and take 3 to 4 da vs
from Kerman to Zahidan. y
(b) Security of Trade routes .—The security on all motor roads through
out the Province was satisfactory and no attacks on motor vehicles werp
reported.
In an skirmish in the hills near Char Gumbad between the Amnieh and
a certain Buchaqchi outlaw named Darab in June last, the latter and one
ot his gang were killed. Two others of the gang were captured and taken
to birjan.
{c) Posts .—No new Post offices were opened in the Province during the
year. The Postal services maintained in Kerman were the same as in the
previous year, viz. :—

Shiraz and Meshed, etc. (by car) .... Tri-weekly.
