A payment order letter (July 12, 1957) to Maj-Gen. Umaro Khan, G.O.C., H.Q. 14 Division, encloses Rs. 20,000 for flood relief, followed by a reply (June 2, 1957) requesting an additional Rs. 50,000 for servicemen's families, noting previous assistance was insufficient for upcoming monsoon. An appeal from Tangaranegan Madrasah (Tippera, May 15, 1957) requests Rs. 1,500 for repairs after consecutive floods. A Certificate of Undertaking from Gaibandha H.E. School (Rangpur, July 20, 1957) confirms a Rs. 800 grant for repairs, with a proforma expenditure statement detailing lime terracing for three rooms.
