Baluchistan Agency
The Baluchistan Agency was the British political agency that oversaw the princely states and tribal areas of Baluchistan from 1877, with its headquarters at Quetta. It was set up under Robert Sandeman, who managed the region through agreements with the Khan of Kalat and the tribal chiefs. The agency covered Kalat, Las Bela, Kharan and Makran, and its states acceded to Pakistan in 1947 and 1948.
