COST TO HYDERABAD OF ECONOMIC BLOCKADE
(10 a.m.) HYDERABAD, Aug. 31. The Finance Minister, Naweb Moin Nawaz Jung, told the Legislative Assembly in a Budget speech that Hyderabad faced a deficit of £2,385,000 due to India’s “economic blockade” imposed on June 17.
“Adequate action will be taken against Hyderabad for collective breaches of the standstill agreement,” states a New Delhi message quoting the deputy Prime Minister. Sardar Patel, to the Indian Parliament. He added that the Nizam's decision to nlace his case before the United Nations was “undoubtedly one of the many breaches of the agreement.” (India under the standstill agreement is responsible for the conduct of Hyderabad’s foreign affairs.)
