HYDERABAD TROOPS ASSIST RAZAKARS
(Rec. 11 a.m.) MADRAS, Aug. 29. Armed police reinforcements were rushed 60'miles west from Bezwada to Polampalli village following a clash between Razakars and the police. It is reported that Hyderabad troops supported the Razakars. An official military report says that Royal Indian Air Force aeroplanes bombed the town of Gilgit, in northwest Kashmir, “very effectively” yesterday, says Reuter’s New Delhi correspondent. Rocket-firing aircraft also attacked an airfield, a wireless station and ammunition dumps. Front-line dispatches describe the attack as the biggest and most concentrated so far in the State. The attack was mainly directed against concentrations preparing to reinforce a column in the Ladakh valley, south-east, of Giligit, where the enemy was trying to organise a second front.
