TOCHI VALLEY, or DAWAR

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 1043 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TOCHI VALLEY, or DAWAR , one of the
chief
  routes into Afghanistan in the
North
 -West Frontier Province of
India
 . It leads from the Bannu through tribal country, and is inhabited by the Dawari (q.v.). The valley is divided into two parts, known as Upper and
Lower
  Dawar, by a narrow pass called the Taghrai Tangi, some three m.
long
 . Between Dawar and British territory is the low range of uninhabited hills, which skirt the Bannu
district
 . It was by this route that Mahmud of Ghazni effected several of his raids into
India
  and the remains of a road flanking the valley and of defensive positions are still to be traced. After the Waziristan Expedition of 1894 the Tochi was garrisoned by British troops; but when Lord Curzon reorganized the frontier in 1901, the British troops were withdrawn, and their
place
  supplied by tribal militia. The
chief
  posts are Saidgi, Idak, Miranshah, Datta Khel and Sheranni. The valley was the
scene
  of action for the Tochi or Dawari Expedition under Brigadier-General Keyes in 1872, and the Tochi Expedition under General
Corrie
 
Bird
  in 1897.
