Refugees begin long homeward trek to Bangla Desh
Thousands of East Pakistanis who fled to India to escape West Pakistani troops last March are streaming back to their homeland now the People's Republic of Bangla Desh today by foot boat bus and train. Indian officials say work crews are repairing war damaged roads and rails to aid the flow of the estimated 10 million refugees. Most have lived in camps in West Bengal around Calcutta. In West Pakistan President Bhutto named Nurul Amin as vice president and replaced provincial governors including Baluchistan. The U.N. Security Council urged a durable cease fire as India and Pakistan fight along the western front. Bhutto said formal talks with India would wait until talks with China. East Pakistan rebels led by Mujibur Rahman demanded autonomy and Rahman, arrested March 7, faces house arrest after transfer from prison.
