RR7140B INDIA/BANGLADESH REFUGEE REPORT

(28 Sep 1971) RR7140B INDIA REFUGEE REPORT
The number of refugees who have crossed into India
from East Pakistan since March 1971 is now rapidly
approaching nine million.  Large scale relief is
needed if a disastrous famine is to be averted.  Indian
officials believe that widespread famine in East
Bengal will drive millions more refugees into India,
increasing the pressures on Mrs.  Gandhi to create
her own political solution to the crisis.
