appropriate steps should be t sken urgently by the local ^

British portion of the Mas tag pi in*
(a) thirdly there were the two incidents about which
monsieur Znnjt ni hud spoken to the noting Oriental
aeoretniy to die Majesty’s legation on the previous day*
1 said that X had iamediut^ly telegraphed to the Govern
ment of India asking that enquiries mi ht be m de*
d* I said that we had some reason to think that
the incidents that we ooapalined of were due to & gentle
man known locally as the ' fiilb Durrani , who was apt to
be Qver-?erlou8,<ind perh ps ^JLso the indeflnlteness of the
frontier. In such c nditions elsewhere it was the usual
and prudent practice for the armed forces of both aides
normally to observe a a rgln of safety,and this was uou.lly
sufficient to avoid incidents, what the Government of India
could not tolerate was farther incidents like the third one
recorded in my aide-ifdaoire. If it was necessary in order
to avoid repetitions the frontier in the kasti*g plain
could be demaOo&ted and X gathered that the erection of
some four pillars by sm 11 survey parties would be
sufficient.
$• a few days 1 ter X received & telegram from
the Qorenmmt of India reporting yet another incident,
as a result of which one Iranian cifloer and five troops
had been rrested on the 31st May for having crossed the
/border
About this item
- Content
Correspondence, papers and maps relating to territorial infringements by British and Persian subjects (levies, troops, customs officials) across the border dividing Persia [Iran] and British Baluchistan (part of present-day Pakistan). Correspondence is chiefly exchanged between the British Legation in Tehran, the Foreign Office in London, and the External Affairs Department of the Government of India. The correspondence includes efforts to ascertain the facts and circumstances of reported incidents, and the ensuing diplomatic correspondence with the Persian Government’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Incidents covered include: in September 1930, the arrival in Dizzak [Dīzūk], Persian Baluchistan, of British levies in pursuit of camel thieves; in November 1935, the presence of British troops near Kuhak [Nūk Jow], Persia, the Persian Government’s dispatch of 400 troops to the region, the British Government’s insistence that the area occupied by its troops at Gorich Kalag [Gorich Categ] lay in British territory, and assertions that troops were dispatched in response to reports that a Persian occupation of the area was anticipated; in November 1937, the raid of a shop in Pilani Sunt (referred to locally as Kastag [Kastak]) by Iranian customs officials, regarded by British officials as an incursion into British territory.
