WARAD ZAMINDARI
Warad Zamindari: "This estate lies in the Tirora tahsil between Tirora and Kamtha to the south of the Wainganga. It has an area
of 70 square miles and contains 32 villages. The country
contains some first rate soil. The estate was first granted by the Deogarh Raja to a Ponwar, but in 1815 the family was ejected for misrule and participation in dacoities and it was made over to Narbad Lodhi of Bijli to whom the Kamtha estate was given three years afterwards. Warad is now held by the Kamtha
Zamindar family of the 32 villages, 13 are held by inferior
proprietors, and 4 by lessees [Bhandara District Gazetteer 1908 ed. p. 242-43.]."
