বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র (D) RESTORATION OF COMMUNICATION: Restoration of communication is a matter of Top-most Priority. Without this, all other activities of the Govt. will suffer. Please take the following actions: (i) All telephones and telegraph services should be revived. Messenger and courier system has also to be used systematically. You should, also try to take advantage of wireless sets of the armed forces whenever possible. (ii) Road and Rail Communication has to be restored. For this, officials of these departments should be contacted and whatever action is possible taken. Also inform Govt. of your requirements in this regard. (iii)Great emphasis should be laid on river communication. (E) RELIEF AND REHABILITATION: Systematic supply of relief and rehabilitation of refugees and other displaced persons will be paramount importance. Without this restoration of normalcy will be difficult, if not impossible. Actions to be taken in this regard are as follows: (i) Designate personnel at thana level to look after refugees and displaced persons. (ii) Check position of food grains in Govt. godowns. (iii)Appeal to people to maintain peace and order and to go back to their respective houses in an orderly manner. (iv) Elaborate orders in this regard will be issued by Govt. soon. In the meantime, all possible assistance may be given as interim measures. (F) ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES: There is likely to be shortage of food, kerosene, salt, sugar, mustard oil and many other items of essential supplies. Govt. is looking after this problem in a broad based manner. For the interim period, take the following actions: (i) Make an assessment of the existing stock of these items and take measures for proper distribution. (ii) Take measures to prevent hoarding and black-marketing. (iii) Furnish your requirement to Govt. for the next three months. Lastly, I would again emphasize the need of working in full co-operation with elected representatives, political workers, freedom-fighters and the public in general. The task before you is of tremendous magnitude and a concerted effort of all sections of the public is necessary to accomplish it. A preliminary report covering all aspects should be sent to Govt. at the earliest. Detailed report should follow soon after. (M. NOORULQUADER)
