CD The most important news is of Major Vusuf Nurl's
visit to Khormuj where he had called the main Dashti
Chiefs together for discussion. He is sal ^. ^® v ! ri c ??" ir
firmed certain Chiefs in their de facto authority in their
local atreas. The area from the Mund River northwards to
Khormuj has been xiaXtsA allotted to Rais Ghulam Razmi;
that from the Mund River southwards to Dalyir to Darab Khan,
a nd G*llehzani and the area around Daiyir ±tsi itself to
All Isma.d.1. The chiefs were asked to keep order in their
districts, and their possession of licensed rifles already
allotted to them by Colonel Muqbili was ' C0 ” f J; rmed *
report is confirmed by information received from another
Dashti source to the effect that the powers of
Gendarmerie have been restricted and that the chiefs them*
selves will be responsible for maintaining law and order
in their areas. It therefore appears doubtful if the
operations in Dashti have achieved much towards th re
establishment of government authority. A t^ace
among the chiefs themselves has been patched up ar» tnelr
"feudal" authority affirmed rather than counteracted.
fiD There is confirmation from another source of the
revenge taken by All Ismail against the Karami family
reported in- the last diary. He is said to have seized a
quantity of wheat from these Shaikhs, in return forthe^r
