This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

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.

Musa Khel

Tahsil of the Musa Khel-Barkhan subdivision, in the north-eastern corner of Loralai District, Baluchistan, situated between 30° 17' and 31° 28' N. and 69° 28' and 70° 15' E. Its area is 2,213 square miles, and population (1901) 15,537 ; the land revenue in 1903-4 amounted to Rs. 24,000. The head-quarters station is Musa Khel Bazar ; the only other place worth mention is Drug (population, 586). Plfty-four other villages are shown on the revenue rolls, but they seldom contain any permanent houses. Cultivation is in its infancy, and cattle-grazing is the chief occupation, the pasture grounds around Khajuri affording much fodder.
