Dastgird, with the few hamlets round it, is now a separate JSfiabat under
Mohamed Yusuf Khan, Samuri. Yusuf Khan claims that his uncle, Zainulab*
din, was rightful chief of Lash Jowain and a rival of the Ishakzai family, but
I cannot find any support for this story. He was, it seems, in 1856 Governor
of Samur and, being a Shiah, handed the place over to the Ihsam-ul-Sultaneh’s
troops, but on the country being restored to the Afghans, as he would have
found residence in his own country intolerable, he was given an asylum in
Persian territory and Dastgird (a slice out of Sunni-Khana) as a JSiabat.
Under the Shaukat-uLMulk, the Naib of Dastgird was Sarhaddar, and with
his son Nazar Ali Khan used to take an annual tour along the frontier. He does
not bear the best of characters and is more than suspected of being a receiver of
camels stolen from across the frontier. The present Sarhaddar is the Naib (or
Khan) of Sunni-Khana himself, but there are no outposts of any sort maintained
nor is any watch kept to prevent aggressions. There was some talk last year of
posts being established at Yazdan, Maliki (Zirkub), Gulwarda and Lab-i-Sher
(Sunni-Khana), but nothing was done.
The principal customs bureau on the Kain-Afghan frontier is at Ahwaz,
the Mirza in charge being one Mirza Mohsin Khan. He has six sowars under
him for inspection and patrol.
The routes authorised for traders are:—
Prom Sabzawar by Yazdan and Patargan.
Prom Ghurian by Kobat-i-Chah and Kalaryan.
Prom Herat by Yazdan, Shorab and Gulwarda.
Prom Anardara by Chah Keg, Puza Jangal and Kalata.
