Ustandar. (Governor-General).— The appointment has been held
by Aghai Misban Katimi throughout the year.
Karmandar (Governor).— Towards the end of 1943 the Governor ate
at Khorranshahr was divided into two Govemorates, Khorranshahr,
and Abadan. Aghai Hassan Mateen remains the Governor of
Khorramshahr, and Sarhang Wohamed Sadiq Daulatshahi has taken
over as Military Governor of the new Govemorate of Abadan.
Though the Governorate of Abadan has been in existence for over
a year, up to the time of writing, no separate budget has been
sanctioned for it, and it exists on loans from the Yunicipality
and other sources.
J udiciar.v .— There are two Subordinate Courts (one each at
Abadan and Khorramshahr) under the superintendence of a Senior
Court at Abadan. All three Courts were kept busy throughout
the year dealing with cases of pilferage and robbery. The
general standard of their efficiency is deplorably low, but on
the whole, British subjects who are involved in court cases
have not experienced any increased difficulties by reason of
their foreign citizenship.
Police .— Sarhang (Colonel) Vighar has held the office of
Chief of Police, Abadan, throughout the year and superintends
the work of Sarwan (Captain) Nikokar who was appointed as
Chief of Police for Khorramshahr about the middle of tne year,
from Tehran. Both these officers are unusually efficient
though they have had to face a serious shortage in the strength
of the forces at their disposal, and continuous battles with
Tehran for their supplies and maintenance.
Gendarmerie .— Sarwan (Captain) Hakimi has held the post of
Chief of Gendarmerie under the direction of Sarhang (Colonel)
Shams-i-Mulk Ara in Ahwaz. The gendemerie forces are also
considerably under strength and efforts to increase them have
been fruitless.
Hea lth.— Doctor Keza Nighabat has continued to hold the post
of Quarantine and Yedical Officer, Khorramshahr, throughout
the year. Abadan was however removed from his charge about
the middle of the year and is now under the control of Dr.
Oyand. Fortunately the general state of health in the two
towns of Abadan and Khorrsnshahr has been good and there has
been no serious epidemic, against which, apart from periodical
issues of drugs and supplies from the Anglo-Iranian Relief
Centre to medical officers, they would have had no means of
contending.
V. — MILITARY.
Allied Forces .— British and American forces have continued
to serve in the area throughout the year. There has also been
a fluctuating force of Russian soldiers taking over Lease-Lend
goods for Russia. Military requirements have necessitated
tremendous improvement in the port, airport and communications
with the interior, which, given the least activity on the parL
of the Persian Government, cannot help but be of tremendous
value after the *ar.
Iranian Army .— Discussion has gone on periodically throughout
the year regarding the establishment of a Persian garrison in
this area but up to the time of writing they have not borne
fruit.
