& new motor road between Kerman and Shahdad via Kupaya was built
bv private enterprise and opened in February. By this road Shahdad is
100 miles from Kerman and light touring cars can do the journey m about
6 hours.
The Tang-i-Zagh section of the Kerman—Bandar Abbas motor road
was much improved and widened. There were very few accidents on this
dangerous pass and the loss of life in accidents was greatly reduced.
The Governor-General submitted a suggestion to Tehran to make a
motor road to Bandar Abbas via Jiruft at an approximate cost of Rials
5 000 000 (about £62,500). He has strongly recommended the construction
of this road as he thinks, Jiruft, which is the most fertile district of the
province will benefit greatly by being linked to the Provincial capital and
given a means of egress to the export markets.
The Kerman—Zahidan motor road via Bam was open throughout the
vear. The sandi stretch between Farah-Shourgouz-Mil Naderi has not been
"improved. Lorries use the road regularly, however, and take 3 to 4 days
from Kerman to Zahidan.
(b) Security of Trade routes. —The security on all motor roads through
out the Province was satisfactory and no attacks on motor vehicles were
reported.
In an skirmish in the hills near Char Gumbad between the Amnieh and
a certain Buchaqchi outlaw named Darab in June last, the latter and one
of his gang were killed. Two others of the gang were captured and taken
to Sirjan.
(c) Posts. —No new Post offices were opened in the Province during the
year. The Postal services maintained in Kerman were the same as in the
previous year, viz. :—
Between Kerman and Tehran vid Yezd, Isfahan including
Shiraz and Meshed, etc. (by car) .... Tri- weekly.
Between Kerman and Bandar Abbas vid Sirjan . . . Bi-weekly.
Between Kerman and Zahidan vid Bam .... Bo.
Between Kerman and Rudbar, via Jiruft (partly by car and
partly by donkey) ....... Weekly.
Between Kerman and Rawar Zarand (by donkey) . . Bo.
Between Kerman and Shahdad (by donkey).... Bo.
The mail Services between Kerman and above places were fairly regular
during the year except once when the mails were delayed for a day on the
Bandar Abbas—Tehran road on account of snow.
{d) Wireless. —The Wireless station at Kerman maintained communi
cation between the expeditionary forces at Khwash and the Military autho
rities at Kerman from November 1934 till April 1935, when it was closed
down on the withdrawal of the troops.
(e) Aviation. —No aeroplanes visited Kerman during the year and the
two so-called aerodromes remained neglected.
An officer from the Iranian Air Force visited Kerman during October
to inspect and report on the condition of the two aerodromes but nothing has
been done so far.
B.—LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS.
8. Condition of the country. —The law and order has been maintained
satisfactorily throughout the year.
The prompt despatch of troops against threatened attacks prevented
Baluchi raiders being successful. The only outlaw, who is still at large,
is the notorious Abdul Hussain Kameran c>f Bashakard. The Military
authorities at Bandar Abbas and Kerman have offered him a pension if he
will agree to surrender and live a peaceful life. So far he has not agreed
to this suggestion!
