About Jhal Magsi
Jhal Magsi is the main town for two important tribes: the Magsi and the Lashari. These are the biggest tribes in the area. The Magsi people are a Baloch group. They moved here from Iran a long time ago with other Baloch tribes. They are called Magsi because they came from a city named Magas in Iran.

The current leader, or sardar, of the Magsi tribe is Zulfqar Ali Khan Magsi. He used to be the chief minister of Balochistan. The leader of the Lashari tribe is Sardar Jalal Khan Lashari. These leaders help guide their communities.
