ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
In November 1922, Naghdie Khan obstructed us again by detaining the
camel caravan from passing through his district, and here too Mahmad Allie
E han gave every possible assistance.
I had an interview with Mahmad Allie Khan at Sadaicli on the 16th
December. He shewed signs of being friendly inclined and has assured me
that he will continue to give every possible assistance and be loyal to the
British Government. His views with regard to Naghdie Khan's behavior is
that unless Yahya's subsidy is equally divided between them he will never rest
and will continue to give us trouble again. It has been reported to me that
Yahya was also responsible for the detention of our camels at Surag and that
both Naghdie Khan and Yahya were on the best of terms when they were
collecting revenues in the Karawan District. Mir Yahya also gave out that
if his subsidy was not paid him within a week he would commence a general
destruction of the telegraph lines throughout his district. This has been
confirmed by several men who were on the spot. It distinctly proves that
Yahya is not as loyal as he poses. In matter of fact I think that Yahya and
Naghdie Khan are both in league and are working for an increase in the subsidy
of this District. The experiment should however be tried in dividing the
subsidy and see how matters will work. A present of Eupees 75 sanctioned
for services rendered was paid to Mahmad Allie Khan, who seemed satisfied
and pleased.
The Khalipha, who is at Panuj now, has given no trouble. He is afraid
to come and see me. I have verbally informed him through my informer ;
that the British Government has pardoned him for his past misdeeds and he
must not expect a subsidy as he is an Afghan subject and neither a chief nor a
headman of the District. He seems to be reconciled.
Generally speaking of this district, the administration of it is carried out
in a very unsatisfactory manner and most of the tribesmen with petty headmen
complain of the District having no strong and proper ruler and that they are
very unjustly and cruelly treated by the present chiefs.
Geh District. —This District 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 as before.
So far there has been no trouble and the telegraph lines from Bandani to
Charbar are well protected. Over the Charbar Customs Allowance Sardars
Husain Khan and Din Mahomed almost came to blows but latter showed no
fear and for the protection of Charbar he took up his position at Tez. Some
how the fight was avoided and after some discussion
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
returned to Geh. I think
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.
Dostmahomed of Bampur intervened in this
matter since both these chiefs are closely related through marriage.
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 having married Dostmahomed's daughter in 1922 and Din
Mahomed Dostmahomed's sister some years back. Since this relationship
between Hu^ain Khan and Dostmahomed exists, Husain Khan does nothing
without his father-in-law's advice. His position they say is also much streng
thened.
Dashtyari District —
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.
Din Mahomed Khan and Mahmood Khan are
still chieftains of the District. Their administration seems to be satisfactory.
The former seems more powerful of the two and they appear to be loyal to the
British Government.
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.
Din Mahomed visited India some time in August
last and also took a trip to Quetta. He seemed very pleased with the treat
ment he received by the authorities of the British Government throughout
his journey. Before leaving for Gharbar he visited me and expressed his
loyalty towards the Government and promised to give every possible assist
ance for the protection of the telegraph lines through the District.
Bahu District.—M.\vs Soban Khan and Ahmed Khan are still in control
of the District and are managing it quite satisfactorily. They have behaved
quietly and uninterferingly and treat their subjects with kindness and justice.
Mir Soban visited India during the year under report.
General. —There has been no satisfactory amount of rainfall up to Decem
ber 1922 and famine conditions still appear to be imminent. When the
inspection party commenced work great water difficulties were experienced in
places up to Kapch the 26th December 1922 when heavy rain fell throughout
the Mekran Coast.
The anti-British feeling is ever so much better now also the political situ
ation seems satisfactory and most of the chiefs with the exception of the
Karawan lot are friendly inclined.
