constant Pressure from local authorities to close this camp. Mr. Dewan Abdul
Abbas, MNA is the Camp Chief.
(3) Beltali: This camp has got a strength of 400 (no further expansion is possible).
Mr. Enasur Rahman originally supervised this camp; now Mr. Gazi Fazlur
Rahman. MPA has been selected as a Camp Chief.
(4) Congress Bhavan (Agartala): Under a compelling circumstances we had to
allow the boys to have temporary stay at this place. The unusual is at this such
place varies from 300 to 400 boys to be packed like holds in a very limited
space. Since there is no cooking arrangement and no such arrangement is
possible within or outside nearly, the boys are escorted to a distance of 3 miles
at Beltali to have their food. This is an intolerable situation which we cannot
help inspite of best efforts.
The proposed transit camps to be established:
The High powered Political Committee now renamed as Bangladesh Liberation
Council, Eastern Zone, Agartala has recommended for the establishment of the
following transit camps and works are being started accordingly.
(a) Kamalpur: Mr. Altafur. Rahman, MPA has been deputed to organise this
Camps as Camp Chief.
(b) Harishamukh (between Srinagar and Amrighat):
Mr. Obaidullah Majumdar MNA and Mr. Khairuddin MPA have been requested to
organise this camp.
(c) Silchara: A Transit camp to accommodate the Youth coming from Chittagong
Hill Tracts with Mr. Syedur Rahman, Secretary, Chittagong Hill Tracts Awami
League of Camp Chief has been recommended.
(d) Udaipur: Being centrally situated, boys from different areas gather at this place
either to be sent to the youth camps or to refugee camps and as such in order to
meet the practical difficulties. A transit camp with Mr. Abdullah Al-Haroon
MPA as Camp Chief has been proposed.
(e) Ekimpur: To meet the same situation as in Udaipur, transit camp is proposed at
this place. The main function of these reception-cum-transit camps established
or proposed to be established are to act as waiting centers where the scrutiny of
boys would be done to facilitate their entry to the Youth Camps.
There may be some other transit camps to be established in future depending on circumstances and demand.
We are experiencing difficulties to managa these youth camps since we are not getting accommodation, transport, proper ration (the quota of 400 gram rice per head has recently been curtailed to 300 gram in some camps and the rate of Rs. 1.10 paisa per head is too meagre to keep the health of the young men to be trained) supply of bedding, clothing etc. and other minimum necessities of life including water facilities and sanitation. Uptil now we have not get anything as envisaged in approved youth camp scheme.
