The Mahsud Waziri blockade[2] was a British campaign against the Mahsud in the British Raj. It began with a passive blockade on 1 December 1900.[4] The British forces were commanded by Major General Charles Egerton.[1] The "most intense" period of fighting began on 23 November 1901.[5] Mobile columns concentrated at Datta Khel, Jandola, Sarwakai and Wana raided Mahsud territory every several weeks, seizing lifestock, taking Mahsud members captive and inflicting heavy casualties.[1] The Mahsud finally surrendered on 10 March 1902.[1]
