History
During Mir Abdullah Khan Wai's rule Sardar Kakar Khan Lehri lost his life in Bibi Nani whilst fighting the Kullahries from Kachhi. As a consequence some Baloch clans together drove the Kullahries permanently out of Kachhi.
Sardar Jahangir Khan Lehri actively assisted the Khan of Kalat (Mir Khudaidad Khan) in controlling rebels in Kadh region of Mastung and lost his life in the process. After his death Sardar Mir Dost Mohammad Khan Lehri supervised the tribe until his decease in the year 1905. Sardar Mir Dost Mohammad Lehri was succeeded by Sardar Mohammad Bahram Khan and haji MIr Ameer Baksh who was well loved and respected by the Lehris as well as Baloch from other tribes.
In the past, the Lehris were mostly land owners; agriculture being the main means of their livelihoods. They have an estimated population of about 200,000 in Balochistan.
