Noakhali Genocide - Aftermath

Aftermath

According to historian Rakesh Batabyal, the situation never returned to normal. Sporadic incidents of violence continued and even the police were not spared. In one incident, reported by Frederick Burrows to Frederick Pethick-Lawrence, that took place in early November, a senior ICS officer and his police party were attacked thrice on the way, while escorting the Hindu survivors to a refugee camp. The police had to open fire in which seven were killed and ten wounded. Bengali periodical Desher Vani published from Noakhali quoted a relief worker in the Ramganj police station area who stated that even after four months people have not returned to their houses.
