(15) I visited the Police Station in Lal Bazaar Rd. & got obtained a permit to leave Calcutta for Hong Kong. The building is a well made spacious one, but the Office arrangements are inconvenient. While I was in the office the police commissioner was telephoning over a general telephone while several people were sitting loudly a few feet from him & of carts were rumbling over through premises outside. I turn the head anyway & as anybody but he appears in no way annoyed & this is doubtless a everyday affair with in the office.
