This route is unpopular wifeh the local carriers owing to its long stages and
to the scarcity of fodder, and until the road has been completed for lio-ht motor
traffic, it will seldom be used for trade purposes.
2. Bandar Ahhas-Daulatalad-Baft-Eerman. —This is the trade route
universally used by local carriers, except during the months of January and
February. Supplies and grazing are procurable throughout the route. The
telegraph line from Bandar Abbas to Kerman runs along this route with
telephone stations at Daulatadad, Deh Sard, Baft and Chari. The telegraph
stations at Baft was reopened in December. The post also travels alon^ this
route. During the year, trade has been greatly hampered by the constant rafds of
the Arab tribes under the jurisdiction of His Excellency Qawam-ul-Mulk.
In May, the following arrangements were sanctioned by the Inspector-
General, South Persia Rifles, for the protection of this road, and since then an
extra 20 Tufangchis have been added. The advisability of arming these levies
^ith suitable aims and ammunition is under consideration.
At Baft—
1 Persian officer, 2 non-commissioned officers, from Kerman.
1 Kais-i-Tafangchi.
20 Tufangchis.
Local men to be paid by South Persia Kiflas and to report to Kerman.
At Daulatabad—
North of Daulatabad about Kaleh-i-Kazi.
1 Persian officer and 2 non-commissioned officers, South Persia Eifles,
from Kerman.
1 Eais-i-Tufangchi.
20 Tufangchis.
Local men to be paid by South Persia Rifles and to report to Kerman.
At Afshar (Tribal) headquarters near Baft (Hushun)—.
1 Rais-i'Tufangchi.
20 Tufangchis.

of the Afshars. To be paid by South Persia Rifles and to
report to Kerman.
In addition a Tufangchi post of 12 men has been established by Bandar
Abbas near Tang-i-Zindan, under Ahmad Khan of Ahmadi.
In October, the Qawam supported by a small column of South Persia
Eifles proceeded on tuur to Dara&and Lar. His Majesty's Consul, Shiraz, from
time to time has sent information that the Qawam is dealing heavily with these
robber bands. In addition, Asaf-ul-Mulk, Governor-General, Kerman's
representative, accompanied by representatives of merchants and local carriers,
has lately proceeded to meet Qawam at Darab, in order to recover numerous
claims, amounting to over 100,000 Tumans, against these Arab marauders.
Tor operations of South Persia Rifles on this route, see South Persia Rifles.
3. Bandar Ahbas-Eudhar-Jiruft to Bam and Kerman.— route is also
greatly used by the local carriers especially during the winter and spring months.
Throughout the year, very few robberies have taken place on this route owing
to the good arrangements made by Zargham-us-Saltaneh through Rudbar, and
also owing to the presence of a strong Detachment of South Persia Rifles at Bam
which has kept in check the Baluch robber bands who formerly used to infest
this route, greatly to the detriment of trade.
[a) Kerman to Yezd via Bahramabad, —Trade along this route has been
greatly harassed by Parsi robber bands consisting of Chahar Rahis, Tutakis,
Labu Mohammedis, etc, helped by the Shahr .Babakis. It is hoped that a
temporary check has been given to these robber bands by the operations carried
out by South Persia Rifles in October (for details see under South Persia Rifles)^
Trade is also greatly hampered by the excessive illegal Rahdari fees levied
by the Qarasuran Department and in some places by the local chiefs.
