6. I have heard it stated that in outbreaks of cholera the ordinary routine is departed
from, and that reports are sent direct from the thana to the Civil Surgeon and the District
Officer. Herein, possibly, may be found a solution of the matter under consideration. There-
fore I beg to ask—
6. Is there any objection to the thana reporting direct to me outbreaks of contagious
disease, at the same time, of course, communicating to the Subdivisional Officers?
7. An early reply will oblige.

Answer.
Approves of the procedure indicated in paragraph 6 of the circular,
namely, of the thana officers reporting direct outbreaks of contagious
disease in cattle, and states that the District Superintendent of
Police has been asked to give effects to such a procedure at once
States he has no objection to the thana officers reporting direct out-
breaks of contagious disease in cattle, at the same time communicat-
ing the facts of their having done so to him or to the Subdivisional
Officer.
States it would be much better if the District Superintendent of
Police reports direct as he gets daily reports from his thana officers,
and there would be no delay.
States that the thana police have been directed to submit direct to
this office daily reports of outbreak of cattle disease in their res-
pective jurisdiction in the form prescribed by Government Circular
No. 4 Agriculture, dated 6th February 1895.
States he has no objection to the suggestion made in paragraph 6 of
the circular.
States that he does not think there is any objection to the thana
reporting direct outbreak of contagious disease, as suggested in
paragraph 6 of the circulars.
Slates that there seems to be no objection to the police reporting
direct outbreaks of contagious cattle diseases as proposed.
States that it seems unnecessary to direct the police to report direct,
as he receives daily reports from all thanas in the district, and he
is thus in a position to inform himself of the occurrence of cattle
disease as soon as it appears.
States that he has no objection to the thana officers reporting cattle
disease direct.
States he has no objection to the thana officers reporting cattle
disease direct.
States he has no objection.
He has no objection.
Reports that the practice would be objectionable, as thana officers
cannot be entrusted to decide whether an outbreak is to be consi-
dered serious enough for report. Referring to paragraph 3 of the
circular, he states that if it is difficult for the District Officer to
decide the matter, it would be still more so for the thana officers.
He states such direct correspondence does not appear to be
expedient.
The information to be supplied, according to the
Government Resolution, is not only to be "the earliest," but also
the "most accurate," for the Bake of the latter, it is desirable that
slight delay in the former should be overlooked.
States he has no objection.
States that the reports would be more effective when submitted by
the District Officers, as the Veterinary Department may be misled
by the ordinary police report.
Says he has no objection to the change proposed.
He has no objection.
He has no objection, and has directed the thana officers to report
direct.
He has no objection.
