received in Kuhak not to se£t ghee, goats, chickens, etc.
to the public hut to reserve them lor the expected new
arrivals. On 1st December Kot Havildar Jan Mohomed, who
had proceeded with a party of sepoys to Gorich Kalag,
reported that he had come to know from local inhabitants
that a body of Iranian troops, 50 strong, had left Dizzak
and were on the way to Kuhak, where half of them would
remain and the other half come on to Gorich Kalag. On the
4th December a selected man, who had been sent across the
border to find out what was happening, returned and confirm
ed reports previously received from other sources, adding
that in view of the arrival of the M.L.C. detachment at
Gorich Kalag the Rais of Kuhak had sent off a messenger,
Doshmabe by name, to the Iranian, authorities at Dizzak,
asking for further instructions &s to the proposed construe'
tion of a post for 25 men at Gorich Kalag.
It will thus be seen that the reports on this point
are unwontedly consistent and circumstantial. I have
therefore considered, since it would be difficult to dis
lodge the Iranians once they established themselves, that
certain precautionary measures are advisable and since
December 2nd one platoon from Panjgur (the Grawag garrison
being temporarily at reduced strength owing to the annual
reliefs of posts being now in progress) has been in camp at
Gorich Kalag, carrying on vdth its normal field training
and at the same time keeping a watch for intruders. Orders
have been given that any armed Iranians found in their area
are to be disarmed and escorted back to the border, but all
have been strictly warned not to approach, on their own
initiative closer than one mile to the frontier. To ensure
that no mistakes are made in this respect, the S&rhaddar has
accompanied the party to show the line of the demarcated
frontier both on the map and on the ground to the troops,
as well as to collect any fresh information that may be
available. To make doubly certain that no loophole remains
for any accidental violation of the frontier on our own part
the Adjutant has visited the detachment and taken compass
bearings to exactly fix the position of Gorich Kalag in
relation to the frontier.
