also a share in the management of the district but gets no share in the subsidy.
He visited me at Jask some time ago and complained about this. Through the
Karwan district managed by the aboyenamed chiefs our telegraph lines have
suffered very badly. This is entirely due to wilful damages done by a tribe
called the Sengala who are absolute Mohamedan fanatics and since the importa
tion of metal from Muscat has been stopped, they are removing material from
our lines. I found iron post being riddled with bullets, wooden posts cut all
round, any amount of broken insulators appear near the posts, clamps are
removed tor making shovels and stalks for the making of sharp implements.
As the men of this district are of a very religious type and absolutely wild, I
think the only man who can control them and restore order through the Kar-
wan district would be Kalifah Khair Mohamed.
Gaih District.
Prom information obtained I understand that the district from Balband
to Charbar is called Gaih. It is managed by
Sirdar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Husain Khan who is still
young. So far the district is well administered and the telegraph lines are
some how protected satisfactorily. I hear that
Sirdar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Husain Khan is very
much upset over the recent settlement of the share which he used to get from
the Persian Customs at Charbar and is making preparations to give Mir Din
Mohamed Khan a blow. He has sent me message assuring that although he is
very much upset and grieved, the way the case was decided by the British
Government, he will still remain loyal and see to the protection of the
telegraph lines as before.
Dashtyari District.
This district, I understand, extends from Charbar to Talli near Mazar Koh
10 miles west of the river Chill along the coast and inland from Charbar to
the Chill river. The district is managed by Mir Din Mohamed Khan and
Mahmud Khan. The administration seems to be very satisfactory and as they
are related to the chiefs controlling the Bampur district, Mir Din Mohamed
has therefore great influence and is level headed and considered a strong man
now-a-days. He appears to be very loyal to the British Government.
Bahu District.
This district extends from Chill river to Samankaur inland through
which country the new telegraph line runs. It is managed by joint chiefs
Mirs Subhan Klianand Ahmed Khan.
On the coast the district supposed to extend from Talli near Mazar Koh
to Gwateg but according to the Chief's statement they claim up to Darabol.
This district is also managed by Mirs Subhan Khan and Ahmed Khan but
latter is the stronger man and more level headed. It appears there has been
no trouble in this district. The chiefs have behaved quiet and uninterfering
and treat their subjects with kindness and justice.
General.
There has been no rainfall up to November 1921 and famine conditions
still appear to be imminent. Most of live stock have died and camels are in
a most weak condition. They now have started ploughing with camels and it
will take a considerable time before the country resumes its normal condition.
The anti-British feeling is getting much better now although the people
are still independent and defiant. I think this is entirely due to their ignorance
and religious feeling. The chiefs seem to have little control over them.
The political situation has improved and our relations with all the chiefs
are friendly so far.
