KACH GANDAVA, or KACHHI (Kach, Kej, Kiz)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 626 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KACH GANDAVA, or KACHHI (Kach, Kej, Kiz) , a low-lying flat region in
Baluchistan
  separating the Bugti hills from those of Kalat. It is driven, like a wedge, into the frontier
mountain
 
system
  and extends for 150 M. from Jacobabad to Sibi, with nearly as
great
  a breadth at its base on the Sind frontier. Area, 5310 sq. m.; pop. Nor), 82,909. The Mula pass, which connects it with the Kalat highlands, was once (when the ancient city of Kandabel was the
capital
  of Gandava) a much trodden
trade
 
highway
 , and is still a practicable route though no longer a popular one. The soil is fertile wherever it can be irrigated by the floods brought down from the surrounding hills; but much of the central portion is sandy
waste
 . It is traversed by the North-Western railway. The climate is unhealthy in summer, when pestilential hot winds are sometimes destructive to life. The annual rainfall averages only 3 in. Kachhi, though subject to the
khan
  of Kalat, is administered under the tribal
system
 . There are no schools, dispensaries or gaols.
