Dear Sir,
Locust Campaign - Oman
ISI
You will recall that during the past season, the
Indian Government accepted responsibility for the locust
campaign in Oman, previously ran by M.E.A.L.U. from Sharjah,
and that the Indians took over all M.E.A.L.U. vehicles and
equipment together v /ith responsibility for paying Mohamed
Sherif the storeman. The situation is somewhat obscure
following the departure of the Indian party and I should be
grateful if you could clarify a few points.
Did the leader of the Indian party leave definite
instructions for the disposal or storage of all equipment
and bait, and if materials are still in store, is the Indian
Government continuing to pay storage charges and the storeman?
As we would be prepared to meet such expenditure »from
the date of departure of the Indians, we are sending you the
sum of 500
Rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
through Command A/cs, R.A.F. M.E.D.M.E. to
the R.A.F. Sharjah. Out of this sum kindly pay any arrears
owing by M.E.A.L.U. for storage charges and Mohamed Sherif's
wages and also the sum of 20
Rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
per month, with effect from
the 1st August, to the mother of Aboud Bin Hassan, a driver
at present employed by M.E.A.L.U. in Jedda, who can be found
through the said Mohamed Sherif.
I am sorry to v/orry you about this matter but we want
to get the whole situation clear.
