International Conimunication 3 , Limited.
8. As either of the lines can serve for maintaining tele*
graphic communication between Karachi and Gvadur the Government
of India do not consider it necessary that both of them should
be retained in future. Of the two routes that along the coast
serving Paani and Ormara involves heavier out-of-pocket expenses,
the maintenance coat being Ra» 40,000 as against Rs. 35,000 for
the Karachi-Panjgnr-Gwadur line; also the condition of the for
mer line is such as to require heavy outlay on renewals in the
near future if it is to be maintained. The line from Karachi
to Panjgur and thence to Gwadur is in much better condition and
though the wire mileage over which communication would have to
be maintained by that route is greater than that of the coast
line there are no technical difficulties in maintaining such
communication. Informal enquiries from the local representa
tives of the Imperial and International Co^nnunications, Limited,
indicate that they would have no objection to working this
circuit instead of the direct circuit along the coast to Gwsdur.
One of the two through wires on the line via ^hahbaz and Panjgux
may be placed at the disposal of the Imperial and International
OommixiicationSf Limited, if suitable terms can be negotiated,
while the other through wire would be used by the Indian Posts
and Telegraphs Department for maintaining telegraphic communica*
tion with lUrbat and Gfwadur, and the third wire on the section
Karachi-Panjgur would be utilised for serving the combined
offices thereon. To provide telegraphic oonmunications at Pasn/
and Ormara wireless stations could be erected at these places.
A third station would not then be required at Gwadur as it woul4
still be connected by a land line with Karachi. The Government
of India are accordingly of opinion that if suitable terms can
be arranged with Imperial and International Ccxamunications,
Limited, the proper course is to dismantle or abandon the coast
line, retain the line via Panjgar, and erect wireless stations
at Omar a and Pasni.
