(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.
