বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র
Chattarjee now working in place of Maj. Mehta (now on leave) promised to
depute one officer at this camp.
(II) Chetakhola: (near Akinpur) This Camp has got a strength of about 400 boys.
Since the camp is situated near the border, it will have to be shifted into the
interior but uptil now no such scheme has been taken up. Mr. Khawja Ahmed
MNA is the Camp Chief.
The boys are getting training with the help of our Liberation-army.
(III) Rajnagar: At Present this camp has accommodated only 400 boys but there is
scope for expansion to accommodate 1000 boys. One Capt. R.P. Singh (since
reported to have been withdrawn and placed in another camp) an officer of Maj.
Mehta has been deputed to supervise the activities of this Youth Camp. Inspite of
our repeated request, the construction of the camp is done at a snail's pace and as
such we are hard pressed to give shelter to the stream of boys coming daily from
Bangladesh through that area Prof.A. Hanif MNA is the Camp Chief.
(IV) Sonamura: There are 4 (four) camps in that area such as:
(a) Kathalia: with strength of 1000 boys capable of accommodating at best 800.
Daily hundreds of boys are refused in that camp for want of accommodation for
which no steps so far could be taken due to circumstances beyond our
control................
(b) Hatimara: With a strength of 800 boys (which can be easily raised to 1000)
Mr. Mehta has deputed one Capt. Sharma in that Camp (since reported to have
been withdrawn) but until now no substantive progress could be done for want of
transport, construction materials and other pre-requisities to establish a full
fledged camp. The boys can have proper training in this camp provided the
facilities are available. In fact the boys are getting some preliminary training and
they are also occasionally engaged in operational activities within Bangladesh.
Mr. M. A. Rashid MPA is the Camp Chief.
(c) Buxanagar: The camp has got a strength of 800 boys and there is constant
pressure to raise the strength to at least 1000, since the camp authorities have to
refuse entry of many boys coming from Bangladesh. Due to heavy influx of boys
in that area, sometimes 1000 boys have to be accommodated temporarily to be
shifted elsewhere if possible or in the alternative to be left in the larch. Capt. Das
has been deputed by Mr. Mehta to supervise the activities of that camp but he has
not been able to do much due to same handicaps experienced by other officers at
different camps. Prof. A. Rouf is the Camp Chief. The boys are getting some
training and also engaged in operational activities.
(d) Melaghar: This camp should be treated separately. It is at present attached
with our liberation army camp at Sector No.2. There are about 1000 boys in this
camp
(V) Udaipur: This camp has been started very recently but the progress is spectacular
due to co-operation of local officers specially ADM Mr. Banarjee. At present, it
has got a strength of 1200 with a proposal to accommodate 1500 boys. Capt. S.
