Kirdgap Tehsil
Kirdgap, also spelled Kardigap, Kardagāp, Kardgap, Kirad Gab, and Kirdagāp is a sub-tehsil in Mastung District, northwestern Balochistan, Pakistan. It lies about 40 kilometres (25 mi) southwest of Quetta, the provincial capital, and occupies the district's southwestern portion.
According to the 2023 national census, the tehsil has a population of 36,701 distributed across 47 settlements. Agriculture, particularly the cultivation of temperate fruit and winter vegetables, forms the backbone of the local economy, though productivity is limited by chronic water scarcity. Groundwater levels range from depths of 200 to 1,000 feet.
Kirdgap is served by a station on the Quetta–Taftan railway line, constructed in 1905.
