Answer.
He has no objection.
He has no objection, but makes the following remarks :—
"The District Superintendent of Police, whom I consulted in the
matter, writes as follows :—
'It will never work ; directly a few cattle die of disease, off will go a
report, and probably one of the Assistants of the Veterinary
Department will rush down, only to find a false alarm. As police
thana officers have no service labels, they will have to send all
covers bearing, but this is a small matter. I certainly do not
think the station officer should be required to decide whether an
outbreak should be reported direct or not. This report might go
to District Superintendent, or Magistrate, and thence direct to the
Superintendent, Veterinary Department.'"
Says that thana officers cannot be trusted to report epidemics direct.
Some would report nothing, and others would give unnecessary work
by reporting epidemics when none existed.
He has no objection.
States he has no objection to the thana and outpost police officers
reporting cattle disease direct to this office, but says that as the
matters concerns the whole province, he requests to ask the Inspect-
or-Greneral of Police to issue necessary orders on the subject to all
districts.
States he has no objection.
States that the thana officers' reports about outbreaks of contagious
disease cannot be relied on implicitly, and that it would be safer to
keep a check on them, and that such reports should come through
the District Superintendent of Police to District Officers.
He has no objection, providing we are prepared to receive vernacular
reports and communicate to the thana police, through District
Superintendent of Police, a simple and clear form, in order that the
reports may be of uniform shape.
He has no objection, but gives his opinion that the officers in charge
of thanas are not men of sufficient information or intelligence to
be relic d on for the performance of this duty. He prefers that
they should not be asked to undertake it. The Superintendent
officers might communicate direct by telegram, and that would only
mean the delay of a day.
He has no objection. The suggestion seems to him a good and feasible
one.
Not received yet.
Says that thana officers' reports are not to be relied on. The members
of the local area panchayets have been asked to submit the
reports to him which are more prompt and reliable and this informa-
tion will be passed to this office.
Not received yet.
He has no objection.
States he does not consider any change in the present practice
necessary.
He has no objection, but he is not confident that thana officers' reports
will be satisfactory. Also says that if they are supplied with a
simple post-card form to be filled up by police officers, the English-
knowing men will be able to submit intelligent reports.
He has no objection, if copies of reports are sent to the Superin-
tendent officer simultaneously or where there is no subdivision to
the district officer.
States it is better that the Superintendent officers should report, and
there will be no great delay involved.
States that the reports of the outbreaks of cattle disease are promptly
sent by the Police to the Civil Surgeon through his office for
transmission to this office.
He has no objection. The Superintendent of Police suggests that
a short form printed on post-cards for reporting should be furnished
for the thana officers.
He has no objection.
