[Telegram to Mr Minoo Masani]

Summary

This single-page English telegram, sent in July 1967 to Shri Minoo Masani, M.P., in New Delhi, concerns a political development at Bairagarh in Madhya Pradesh. Its compressed message reports that the Bairagarh resident had resolved to close the town, apparently in order to create an opportunity for the Sanyukt Vidhayak Dal, described as having a majority, to form a ministry in Madhya Pradesh.

The document is an urgent political communication focused on party manoeuvring and the formation of a state government. The sender is not identified on the visible page, and some wording is difficult to read because of the telegram’s condition and apparent transmission or OCR errors.
