(5) Visas will not be cancelled during the term of
their validity, if the drivers leave the route for any
pui pose, without consultation with the Governor-General
or the Consul-General as the case may be.
(6) When a long term visa falls due for renewal it
should ordinarily be renewed, and issue of a fresh visa
will not be refused without consultation with the Governor-
General or the Consul-General as the case may be.
(7) Until and unless the Iranians permit Indian lorry
drivers to work beyond Zahidan, Iranian drivers will be
restricted to Nok Kundi.
The above should be regarded as a rough outline only
of a possible agreement which might be negotiated.
8. I have two further suggestions. These are :-
(a) That the effect of adherence to the International
Motor Vehicles Convention of 1926 should be examined. Iran
has adhered to this Convention, and India has been a
member for some time. It may be found that Iranian action
on this international route is in direct contravention of
the terms either of the Convention itself or of the Traffic
Rules thereunder. But this point should not be mentioned
to M. Kazemi, as it has not yet been examined or Legislative
Department consulted.
(b) Baluchistan have suggested that maintenance of the
Iranian attitude in this matter might be met by the with
drawal of the rebate on railway freight on goods booked to
Nok Kundi. This suggestion raises big issues which would
require further examination. Such action might recoil on
Indian traders. But it may be borne in mind.
(Signed) 0. K. Caroe.
