§ 13. Mr. D. GRENFELLasked the Secretary of State for India whether he can state the reason why, in addition to a curfew order, the riding of ordinary bicycles has been forbidden in Chittagong?
§ Sir S. HOAREBoth the curfew order and the order prohibiting the use of bicycles apply to youths of the Hindu Bhadralok class only. It is from this 7 class that the terrorists operating in Chittagong draw their recruits, and they have been in the habit of using bicycles to act as scouts for the terrorists.
