RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Nov. 30—A military spokesman said today that Pakistani troops had yielded another border village in East Pakistan to attacking Indian forces.
The village of Pachhagarh near the extreme northwest corner of East Pakistan in the Dinajpur district was reported evacuated by Pakistani troops under attack by Indian tanks, artillery and the Seventh Marhatta Infantry.
Pakistan said that her troops had inflicted heavy casualties on the Indians but that they had withdrawn from the town to positions farther south.
Meanwhile, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said that foreigners were now prohibited from traveling in West Pakistan's northern border, which adjoins China and the Indian part of Kashmir. Foreigners are specifically banned from Gilgit in Kashmir.
Road Opened This Year
A new road through this area was opened in February and heavy truck traffic now flows to China over the 16,000‐foot high Khunjerab Pass in the Karakoram range.
China has pledged support to Pakistan in the event of general war with India.
No incidents have been reported, anywhere along West Pakistan's border with India but diplomats are becoming increasingly apprehensive.
Foreigners living in border areas were asked last week by their respective embassies to move temporarily to safer areas. At the time, women and children moving from Lahore and other exposed places said they expected to be away only a few days, but this week, foreign children, including about 35 American children evacuated from Lahore, were enrolling in schools here.
Spokesmen here said that they had received reports of a new Indian build‐up of four divisions, supported by armor, in the Indian Province of Rajasthan near the Rann of Kutch. The Rann of Kutch, an unpopulated tract of tidal land east of Karachi, was the object of the first 1965 conflict between India and Pakistan. A later conflict that year was fought mainly over Kashmir and such border cities in Pakistan as Sialkot and Lahore.
