Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Mula

River in Baluchistan, rising in the Harboi hills and having a total length of 180 miles. As far as Kotra in Kachhi (28° 22' N., 67° 20' E.), it passes with a rapid fall through the Central Brahui range ; in its lower reaches many flats lie along its course. The upper course is known as the Soinda ; a little lower it is called the Mishkbel, and from Pashthakhan downwards it becomes the Mula. Its principal affluents are the Malghawe, the AnjTra or Pissibel, and the Ledav. The Mula drains the whole of the north-east of the Jhalawan country and also the south-west corner of Kachhi. Wherever possible, the small perennial supply of water is drawn off to irrigate the flats along the course of the river, while flood-water is utilized for cultivation in Kachhi. The Mula Pass route to the Jhalawan country lies along its course.
