She further writes, the most : serious result is that at least one thousand workers in jute mills and light industry in the Dacca region will be put out of work, where around 60% of the working population were already unemployed. The Times of London writes about the conditions that are now prevailing inside Bangladesh and the absolute failure of the Pakistan Government's attempt to administer the occupied areas. The law and order situation has gone completely out of hand. The West Pakistani soldiers and residents in Bangladesh are feeling insecure and the businessmen are taking away all their properties to West Pakistan. The Times of London writes "most West Pakistani residents of East Pakistan feels themselves dangerously threatened and many are finding some way to immigrate before it is too late." About the Mukti Bahini, it writes "the guerillas operate more or less at will, despite constant search by the army against suspected guerilla strongholds." It further writes, "military morale is understood to have declined. Police' morale has also suffered." The Newspaper further confirms that police and Razakars are joining the Mukti Bahini in a much larger way. It says "in June the Government sent over a force of West Pakistani police officers, and men to replace the defectors.

It is to his great discredit that he has not visited Bangladesh since the crackdown began on March 25." It further goes on to say "he has relied for his information on reports from his commanders and one can only assume, that is why, both refugees and guerilla fighters have been dismissed by him as miscreants and Indian infiltrators," Ian Brodie, the Foreign Correspondent of the Daily Express further accuses Yahya Khan by saying "he has precipitated the crisis when the result of the Pakistan election, a big win for Sk. Mujib, did not suit him." He further writes about Yahya Khan, "Yahya Khan, the bull headed man seemingly somewhat bemused by the peril he has wrought". He further goes on to say "when General Yahya says he is just a simple soldier he should be taken at his word. With his hectoring manner he is better suited to be a sergeant-major than a General.
