country round is grassy, and undulating, and to the west rise the high peaks
of the Saraban mountain and the Banigas range, 10 miles distant the
country between being clothed with thick forests of dwarf oak. Water
is abundant and the numerous channels show a large area of ground for
merly under cultivation. The town now (1897) is deserted and in ruins
having been recently raided and burnt by Habibullah Khan of the Jaf
Kurds. It formerly contained 100 houses in addition to the residence of the
Vakil of Juanrud, the principal landowner, and the Governor’s bouse. There
was also a small bazar and some shops. The inhabitants are slowly re
turning, the Governor, Sharaf -ul-Mulk of Sinneh having been dismissed and
Navab Khan, son of Mushir-ud-Divan of Sioneh, appointed in his place.
The feud with the Jafs is at an end.
There is room for camping. Wood, water and grass are abundant.
Some supplies are obtainable from villages a few miles off in the direction
of Kirmanshah, and when the town is rebuilt should be plentiful.
The climate is hot for three months of the summer, but very pleasant
in spring and autumn, and the soil appears most fertile. Roads to Kir
manshah, the Zimkan river, and Pavah pass through the town.
The people fled with their flocks and herds to the Zarneh mountain.
They are tenants of the Vakil of Javanrud, the chief landowner of the
district.
