K.P. Sarkar : Sub Dy Collr.<br />

A.N. Samajdar : Sub Dy Mag.<br />

Information<br />

From 10.00–12.30 interviewed 20 out of the 30 supposed to come. Nazarat was shut when I<br />

arrived & opened only at 10 sharp & we started at 10.15. Today camp assts. came-- mostly<br />

night guards & all political workers. One boy was most arrogant and chucked his interview<br />

card at me and starting interviewing us on why H.Sec. passed boys had been made peons in<br />

camps. I controlled my first tendency to throw him out. He also asked why we were pending<br />

so much time grilling poor V–VI educated chaps and testing their knowledge of English.<br />

Also if being a peon would disqualify them from LDC posts. We explained everything<br />

calmly & he became milder & said he had come to see if we were like the interviewer he had<br />

seen in movies & I was gratified that he said we did not lecture him as they in movies! All the<br />

boys said that had campaigned for parties, when asked if they knew any election procedures.<br />

At Gajol BDO office some 8 bidders bid a maximum of Rs. 2005/- only for the 80 sheds<br />

[11200 sq. ft. costing Rs. 2.40 a sq. ft. i.e. at last Rs. 22500 !!] Also conveyed to BDO the Sr.<br />

DC’s order to immediately release his CPM Panchayat clerk for duty at Kaliachak. Mr. Kar<br />

has split up the “Coordination Committee” enthusiasts singly in different blocks, to preclude<br />

any disturbance.<br />

Visited Kutubsahar: all deserted except the staff busily doing paper work. Problem of rice &<br />

dal stocks being ruined by rats & rain. Met DM over this. He booked a trunk call to this Dist.<br />

Manager of FCI to ask him to buy these back. Surplus clothes & blankets are to go to Bhuto<br />

Babu. F.Rahman [Mastermashai] whom I met at SDO’s office, told me they would not work<br />

voluntarily under the MPAs because these people had done no M.Fauj’s work, but were busy<br />

in rivalry & smuggling all the while. Hence their lack of interest in getting the badly needed<br />

shelter materials. DM will take a decision regarding Kutubsahar after returning from<br />

Rajshahi.<br />

Some camp staff, ex-primary teacher, asked me to get their schools recognised by Govt. so<br />

that their jobs are assured. Personal requests to appoint this / that person as peon are also<br />

there!<br />

I have decided to use the Kapasia incident for my Law & Order paper and the Evacuee<br />

Repatriation as my special paper. About the latter, I issue a circular to all BDOs for reports,<br />

besides individually getting personal impressions from them.<br />

All day it has been very chilly, with a gusty icy wind blowing-- rather Mussoorie-like!<br />

Yesterday & today studied WBSR Pt I & II, & Treasury Rules too. Have requisitioned other<br />

books in the Accounts syllabus. The librarian being deputed for election work getting books<br />

is difficult. I have detailed my peon to assist the stop-gap clerk acting as Librarian.<br />

Mr. Sarkar, Sub-Dy.Collector joined today. He was Sub-Registrar earlier. I also met Mr.<br />

Samajdar, Dy. Magistrate.<br />

Studied Presiding Officers Handbook 1971, as the current one is yet to come. Seems quite an<br />

easy task.<br />

My Medical reimbursement was sanctioned but I cannot get it till my pay slip arrives! Wrote<br />

to C.D.Sahni at NAA, enquiring about my LPC.<br />

8.2.1972<br />
