EVENTS

1832: Colonel Pottenger informs his Government that Mir Murad Ali Khan of Hyderabad has agreed to hand over British Government some of the chiefs of Parkar and traitor Ismail Khan and Captain Robret may be directed to proceed to Lakhpat to receive the prisoners. This may be kept in mind that Khosas and other chiefs of Parkar were doubtful about the presence of British people in Sindh. Hence they were creating problems for them. Some of them involved themselves in robbery and other criminal acts.
