 Ali MNA is the Camp Chief. The boys are getting preliminary training. The camp

 is situated in an ideal place at PALATANA-about 5 miles off Udaipur. Since this

 camp is managed by on able and ex-army Captain like Mr. S. Ali MNA., there is

 no of deputing any officer by the Deputy Director, Youth Camp Operation. This

 camp can be easily recognized as a full-fledged youth camp as envisaged in the

 original scheme.

(VI) Mohanpur: This Camp has a present strength of 450. Mr. Shafiruddin Ahmed,

 MP A is the Camp Chief. There is enough scope for expansion of this camp but

 due to difficulties of construction etc. this could not be done. Capt. Chatarjee now

 acting as a Deputy Director, Youth Camp operation, has taken up the matter.

(VII) Sylhet: At present there are 3 (three) transit youth camps at Sylhet Sector, viz-

 (a) Patherkandi, with a capacity of 500 boys. Mr. Abdul Monem. Organising

 Secretary, Sylhet District Awami League is the Camp Chief.

 (b) Khowai: This camp has not been fully organised. At present the strength is

 only about 200, but several hundred more boys are scattered in different houses

 for want of proper accommodation. Mr. Mustafa Shahid, MP A is the Camp

 Chief.

 An Officer Capt. Dhar had been deputed to organise this camp as per scheme as

 approved by the Govt. of India (since reported to have been withdrawn). If the

 construction at the site selected is expedited then it would have an accommodation

 of 1000 youth. The same difficulties of construction, transport, ration and the

 supply of other materials are there as in other camps.

 (c) Kailashahar: This camp has not been properly organized due to some

 organisational defects. It is said that at present this camp has got an strength of

 300 boys. Mr. Manik Chowdhury MNA is the Camp Chief.

 The above youth camps are operating as originally planned before the approved

 youth camp scheme came in to operation but not yet implemented. Due to heavy

 influx of young men from Bangladesh between the age group of 16 to 25, many

 transit camps have o be established in addition to the demands of opening few

 other transit camps at different laces on border to cope with this abnormal

 situation. The second category of Youth amps re operating as Reception-cum-

 Transit camps.

 These camps are as follows:

 (1) Dharmanagar: It has been approved by the Chief Minister, Tripura and at

 present has got a strength of 200 boys to be easily expanded to accommodate

 1000 if the construction is expedited. Mr. Taimuz Ali, MP A has been selected

 as a Camp Chief.

 (2) Narsingtaar: The Camp originally accommodated about 600 boys who were

 shifted to Gokulnagar camp but we could not close the camp due to heavy on-

 rush of young men especially from Comilla, Dacca and Faridpur etc., and as

 such this camp is still operating with a strength of more than 600 boys though
