"Tahsīl of Hazāra District, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, lying between 34°14' and 35°10' N. and 72°55" and 74°6' E., with an area of 1,486 square miles (3,850 km2). Shaped like a cone, the tahsil runs in a north-easterly direction, comprising the deep glen of Kāgān and the mountain ranges on either hand. The population in 1901 was 182,396, compared with 165,312 in 1891. The tahsil contains the town of BAFFA (population, 7,029) and 244 villages, including the large village of MĀNSEHRA, its headquarters. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to Rs. 1,03,000.
