British Empire takes over Balochistan

British Baluchistan was established as a chief commissioners province of British India in 1876, later gaining Chief Commissioner's province status over leased Kalat territories.

Parts of the Kalat state to the north and northeast were leased or ceded to form the province of British Baluchistan, which later gained the status of a Chief Commissioner's province. A supplied passage states Baluchistan was a chief commissioners province of British India established in 1876; it does not date the later acquisition of that status. The province was administered by a Chief Commissioner appointed by the Federal Government.
