TheMohmand blockade (1916–1917) was a line ofblockhouses andbarbed wire defences, along theMohmand border on theNorth West Frontier by theIndian Army.

In 1915 the Mohmands declared a holy war or jihad against the British.^[1] The blockade began after a number of Mohmand raids intoPeshawar, they sent large numbers oflashkars (In Mughal and Urdu culture the word is used to describe a "swarm like formation in any army") at British positions. The most important engagement occurred on 15 November 1916, at Hafiz Kor, when a Mohmand force was defeated. The blockade was eventually lifted in July 1917 when the Mohmands submitted.^[2][1]
