With his elimination from the Minab area, the population have been freed
from a severe scourage and peace and quiet restored to their homesteads.
_ Abbas Khan, his co-outlaw, however, is still at large and is said to be in
hiding at Rudan.
The Persian Government have ordered the confiscation of the property of
the two brothers, Ibrahim and Abbas Khan, in favour of the numerous claimants
who have been prey to their depredations during the past five years.
Biyahan. —Towards the close of 1924, a Persian force with guns from
Kerman, that had been concentrated in the liudbar district, was moved to Minab
for operations against Mir Barakat, with the object of his final subjugation.
At the outset, small Military post were established at Karghan and
Kohastaq. The latter was attacked by Abdulah Khan son of Mir Barakat. One
Nizami was killed and a few others made prisoners, but subsequently released.
Mir Barakat anticipating the advance of a Persian force against him, forti
fied himself at his headquarters at Gooshki, and mustered 1,20U clansmen ready
to give battle to the Government troops.
Finding that the outlaw chieftain had too superior a force, the Persian Com
mander at Biyanban with the consent of the Officer Commanding at Kerman '
opened negotiations with Mir Barakat for a general settlement. That rebel
' inter alia ' offered to pay a sum of 3,000 tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. as blood money for the soldier
killed by the tribesmen at Kohastaq.
Mir Barakat's proposals were, in the end rejected by the higher Militarv
authorities who ordered withdrawal of the troops from the Biyaban district, the
Persian Government having decided to postpone their operations till a more
suitable opportunity.
The force returned to Minab in March and thence proceeded in the direction
of Kerman.
No Military movements, however, with the above objective, were observed
at the close of the year.
Condition of the Roads.
The Persian Government appear to have awakened at last to a sense of their
responsibility in regard-to the safeguarding of the trade routes leading from
Bandar Abbas to places in the interior. . These roads^ it might be mentioned,
were comparatively safe throughout the year.
The Amnyieh guards have been increased along the Kerman-Baft-Daulat-
abad route, and further posts established between the latter mentioned place and
Bandar Abbas in addition to those maintained by the Army.
A branch of the Aminyieh department was opened at Bandar Abbas in
October and placed in charge of Naib Lutfa Ali Khan. Thirty guards were re
cruited localif to form nucleus of this new force, which received"a stiffening bv
the addition of one sergeant and nine Sowars from headquarters.
On the main route via the Tang-i-Zandan, only one case of robbery was re
ported. This was in April when the post coming from Kerman was attacked by
highwaymen at Tang-i-Siyah and two or three parcels and a few carpets were
looted.
. \
On the lesser frequented route to Kerman via the Tang-i-Novergoon, a camel
caravan was attacked also in April between the latter mentioned pass and Daulat-
abad and five loads of piece-goods and one load of sugar belonging to British
Indian traders were carried off.
No, part of the looted property was subsequently recovered nor were the
robbers rounded up by the authorities, who based their inaction on the usual pre
text of the culprits having come from the Fars area.
Arms Traffic.
No cases of the confiscation of arms were reported during the year in the
Bandar Abbas and Lingah districts.
In July, a notice was posted in the town, publishing the orders of the Cen
tral Government for the surrender of all arms in possession of the Civil popula
tion.
