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 />
