HARIGAH—
A place in the Borazjun sub-district of Dashtistan, where there is a ford
over the Dalaki river. This ford appears to be the best one for crossing
the river, here called Dalaki, but which, below Darudgah, becomes the
Rud Hilleh. The ford lies about 4 miles up-stream from Kullul, but a detour
of 7 miles must be made to reach it. There is a small tower, and a few houses,
on the left side of the ford. In April the ford was 30 yards wide, with a hard
and stony bottom. Chick considers that the ford is practicable for any
wheeled transport. The crossing from the left bank of the river is made
obliquely, heading downstream, so that the Zira bank is reached just opposite
Harigah. The start is made about 500 yards up-stream from the tower.—
