condition for the boys in the camps is simply deplorable. In the Youth Camps of Mohadeo and Moheshkhala no ration is supplied from the Government. In other recognized Youth Camps only rice, edible oil, Dal and salt are given leaving a lot of other essentials to be managed by the boys themselves who are uprooted from home in sheer destitute condition. As a result there have been untold miseries and the boys are falling victims to mal-nutrition and various common diseases which eat into the very vitality of their health and spirits. In the FF Camps also, there is pressing need for providing material support. It can be added by way of information that the whole area of the North East Zone - II is in the grip of a common disease of Malaria and protection against the menace of Anophilis mosquito has to be provided for prevention of this disease. Our boys in the Youth and FF Camp are suffering from this disease for want of medical care and mosquito-nets. The next important disease which victimizes our boys is the wide-spread dysentry caused due to contaminating spices and drinking water. The medicines required for prevention and cure of dysentry are not supplied. The injured Mukti Bahini boys to not often get immediate medical attention. For want of transport facilities, the injured boys desperately looking for medical attention, cannot be rushed to the nearest doctor or to a place for immediate hospitalization. The boys arc suffering badly for want of wearing clothes and Jungle shoes. The problems, being so acute and again so apathetically ignored, give one the only logical impression that there is, perhaps, none to look after and care for our boys in this Zone.

 At Mainkarchar thousands of boy and refugees are crossing over daily.

 In the Refugee Camps also, the inmates are subjected to endless sufferings. For want of adequate accommodation, proper food and nourishment, sanitation, medical care, mosquito-nets and wearing clothes, etc. the refugees are falling victims to malnutrition and various diseases. In the context of this miseries the Council feels that it has a moral duty to undertake relief work in Co-operation with the local administration and other local agencies.

 As a result of the atrocities committed by the barbarous Pakistani Army, a lot of Political workers who could cross over to this area, were rendered worst destitute of the time. The Council, therefore, feels it a moral obligation to provide adequate relief, both in kind and in cash, to them.

 Since the primary objective of our Govt. is to conduct the liberation war, it is only desirable that the Council devotes its whole soul to the cause of the physical fitness and morale of our boys in the Youth and FF Camps. The point at issue is either we win or we perish. Ceasing to realize this, and appreciate problems of the physical fitness and morale of our boys would be the negation of our operational planning and drive, nay, the negation of the very purpose of our existence here. The achievement of our party in the last pools and the glories of our cause abroad will simply pale into insignificance if we fail to feed successfully the war efforts of our boys on whom we pin our hope for ultimate victory.

 Keeping in view the problems and requirements of our boys in the Youth and Fl Camps and our moral obligation to look after the Refugees, an estimate of expenditure to be inclined monthly is proposed as under:
