DACCA, Pakistan, Dec. 19 — This city looked normal today after three days of euphoric celebration, punctuated yesterday by grisly incidents.
Children sold Bangladesh flags in the streets. A work gang of about 100 Bengalis began picking rocks and rubble by hand from the bombed‐out airport runway. And West Pakistani officers ceremoniously turned over their arms to their Indian captors.
Before dawn today, some 300 West Pakistani civilians and Government officials, including the Governor, several ministers and other officers and members of their families, were escorted by Indian soldiers from the Inter‐Continental Hotel, a neutral zone, to a military cantonment where they could more easily be protected from Bengali reprisals.
