This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Labdarya

taluka of Larkana District, Sind, Bombay, lying between 27° 6' and 27° 30' N. and 67° 59' and 68° 24' E., with an area of 356 square miles. The population in 1901 was 68,872, compared with 62,659 in 1891. The taluka contains 57 villages, of which Dokri is the head-quarters. The density, 194 persons per square mile, largely exceeds the District average. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to 2-4 lakhs. The soil, though lacking facilities for irrigation, is more fertile than elsewhere. Rice is the chief crop, the water supply being obtained from the Western Nara canal ; but wheat of excellent quality and gram are grown on the lands annually flooded by the Indus. Mango groves and gardens are more numerous here than in the rest of the District.
