NUSHKI

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 917 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
NUSHKI , a town and
district
  of
Baluchistan
 . The town lies ,-o M.
south
 -west of Quetta, and is situated in a plain at the base of the Quetta
plateau
 , 2900 ft. above the sea. Pop. (1901) 644. From this point the flat
Baluchistan
 
desert
  stretches away northwards and westwards to the Helmund river. The administration of the Nushki
district
  was taken over from the
khan
  of
Kalat
  by the Indian government in 1896, and was leased from him on a perpetual quit rent in 1899. In 1902 a railway of 91 M. was sanctioned from Quetta to Nushki, which was com-pleted in 1905. This railway makes Nushki the starting-point of the caravan route to
Seistan
 . From the strategic point of view a force operating from Nushki would flank any advance from the north on Kandahar, and would also guard the
south
 -west approach to the fortress of Quetta.
