Information:
Nushki in Balochi and Brahui it is known as Noshkay. The word Nushki is given to Noshkay by the British colonisers. Balochistan was invaded by the British in 1839. On 13 November 1839, The Khan or King of Balochistan, Mehrab Khan martyrd by the British occupier army at Kalat, capital of Balochistan. The town lies 90 miles southwest of Shal also known as Quetta, and is situated in a plain at the base of the Quetta plateau, 2,900 ft (880 m) above sea level. Population is over 50,000. From this point the flat Balochistan desert stretches away northwards and westwards to the Helmund river. The administration of the Nushki district was taken over from the Khan of Kalat by the British government in 1896. In 1902 a railway of 91 miles (146 km) was sanctioned from Quetta to Nushki, for military purposes, which was completed in 1905. This railway makes Nushki the starting-point of the caravan route to Seistan.
