PERSIA# GULF RESIDENCY,
BAHRAIN,
12th September, 1949.
I have the honour to state that a formal
representation has been received from the 'Uscat
Government on the subject of telegraphic arrangements
between Muscat and Gwadur. They request that the
Pakistan Posts & Telegraphs Department should Inform
Messrs. Cable & Wireless Limited, Karachi, promptly
when the Gwadur line is broken or restored. They complain
that sometimes expensive cables take as long as three
weeks on the way and arrive after letters conveyed by
slow mail, and have asked that arrangements may kindly
be made for the telegraph line to be kept in a better
state of repair.
2. The Political Agent reports that the land line
between Karachi and Gwadur broke down on the 5th June and
was only put right on the 12th august and that it broke
down again on the 14th August.
3. I should be most grateful if action could kindly
be taken to ensure that the Karachi-Gwadur line is kept in
a proper state of repair and that f,essrs. Cable & tireless
Limited are promptly informed of all breaches and their
restoration.
I am,
Sir,
Your Obedient Servant,
(3GD). W.R. HaY.
Political Resident.
The Under Secretary,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Government of Pakistan,
Karachi.
