Abstract: Regional Flood Relief Committee (under Miss Fatima Jinnah’s chairmanship) and related authorities between 1958 and 1965. It includes a torn office file cover with a stationery label; a letter from Mokara Darusman Hossain Alia Madrasah (Tippera, October 1958) requesting Rs. 3,000 for a storm-damaged hostel; a forwarding memo from the Director of Public Instruction, East Pakistan, with a detailed application from Shahatali High School (Tippera, August 1958) seeking Rs. 2,800 for repairs after cyclone and flood damage; a repetitive, likely incomplete document from a school in Punjab (appears misfiled); an appeal from Tikatuli Mosque and Maktab Committee (Dacca, August 1959) seeking Rs. 10,000 for reconstruction; an office order (September 1959) approving the managing committee of Char Kalakopa Karamatia Senior Madrasah (Noakhali); a letter from Saidabad Mosque Committee (Dacca, January 1958) requesting Rs. 3,000 for mosque construction

Description: This file contains grant applications and office correspondence (1958–1965) addressed to the Regional Flood Relief Committee and the Director of Public Instruction. Appeals include a madrasah seeking Rs. 3,000 for storm-damaged hostel, a high school requesting Rs. 2,800 for cyclone repairs, a mosque committee seeking Rs. 10,000 for reconstruction, and an institution appealing for Rs. 5,000 after a fire. A misfiled document from a Punjab school and a 1948-dated letter referencing 1956 suggest some items are out of chronological order. The file illustrates the range of disaster-related rehabilitation needs beyond flood relief, including storms, cyclones, and fire, and the role of the committee in addressing them.
