The road from Bampur to Magas has more than
once been used for guns. The last occasion was
some five years ago, when the Governor of
Bampur advanced to Kwash by this route.
The part of the road from Cheb over the watershed gave him a lot of trouble.
There are two roads, one to the N. of the cultivation, and one which goes through the
cultivation. The latter is described here. The tracks bifurcate at 1 mile, the southern
track going direct to Nasri, which is ou the right bank of the river. Nasri is a squalid
hamlet of serfs. At 8 miles the dam.
After passing the dam, the track hugs the river until 12 miles, when it bends more to
the N., reaching the new fort of Pahraj at 15 miles. This so called fort in common with
the tort at "Washt in Sarhad is merely a sarai fitted up with barracks inside. The river
road is practically impassable during wet weather, as the deep loam is extremely treacherous
when wet.
