Main Trade Routes. —The other main routes which are
indicated on the map attached to this report, with their approxi
mate distances are :—
(1) . Bushire-Shiraz-Isafahan-Tehran. —The road itself is not
metalled and except along the portion between Bushire and
Shiraz which was partly completed by the South Persia Rifles it
is neither laid out nor graded, being in fact a caravan track.
During the summer and autumn it is however used by country
carts as well as pack animals, but the formidable passes between
Shiraz and Bushire make it impossible for wheeled transport to
use this section for commercial purposes. It has no bridges or
culverts and the rivers and marshes make certain sections im
passable during the winter and spring. Nevertheless a large
portion of Persia’s foreign trade at present passes along this route.
The Ministry of Public Works contemplates building this road
shortly if the necessary funds are available.
(2) The Ahwaz-Isfahan road through the Bakhtiari country.
A caravan track used largely by pack animals and impassable for
wheeled traffic.
(3) The Duzdap- Kerman-Yezd-Isfahan route .—A caravan track
passable at certain times of the year by light motor cars. Fre
quented by merchandize using the Duzdap Railway which was
extended during the war from Nushki via Dalbandin to connect
India with Persia. Exporters of carpets from the Kerman
district have during the past year used this route in preference to
the mountainous road from Bander Abbas to Kerman, although
the latest reports state that owing to raids by tribesmen on the
road between Kerman and Duzdap the Bander Abbas route is
again coming into use.
