CHUADANGA, April 5 (Reuters) — This East Pakistani town, about 15 miles from the Indian border, has been designated the provincial capital of independent Bengal.

The designation was made by Dr. Asabul Huq Joardar, who is regarded as leader of the resistance forces in this area of the country. He calls himself their chief adviser.

Unlike the case in other towns in the area, which are in the hands of disorganized groups of Sheik Mujib's supporters, there appears to be some order in this town of about 35,000 people.

Many have left, but the town has yet to see any fighting. However, Pakistani Air Force planes are reported to have dropped bombs and strafed the area Saturday.

Several stores were open today in the market of this town, to which several reporters and cameramen were taken by jeep after having walked two miles across the border.

Dr. Huq Joardar, a stocky man wearing two pistols on belt over civilian clothes, said that fighting would continue until the new nation is consolidated. He said the conditions under which Sheik Mujib negotiated with President Yahya last month no longer existed.

Sheik Mujib, he declared, wanted more self‐rule for the East Pakistanis without bloodshed but, “We have found that it is not possible.”

The doctor, who studied medicine in Calcutta, was elected last December along with other members of the Awami League to the National Assembly, which was to have drafted a constitution to return Pakistan to civilian rule. But with the Awami League holding a commanding majority in the Assembly and demanding regional autonomy, President Yahya postponed its meeting. Protest strikes erupted in East Pakistan, and Sheik Mujib gradually gained political control of the province.

The President flew to East Pakistan for talks that ended few hours before the army struck to reassert the central military Government's rule.
