MOHAMED DIN S/0 ALLA
Reference your No. 1766-16/57 dated the 6th June,
We regret, for want of sufficient particulars, we
are unable to identify Mohamed Din S/0 Allah Ditta referred
to in your above memo.
The only man we came across since the re-opening
of Qatar by almost the same name was one Mian Mohamed Din
S/0 Allah Ditta, who had applied to us for local engagement
in December last. He had previously worked with the Anglo
Iranian Oil Co., Abadan and the Kuwait Oil Co., Kuwait, but
had to leave them on grounds of his health.
From the testimonials in his possession he appeared
to be a useful man, and though the question of his health
was somewhat problematical, he was sent to 'Qatar on the 28th
December, 1947 for medical examination and engagement as a
fitter but returned to Bahrein on the 4th January, 1948, not.
being satisfied with the then conditions in Qatar.
Incidentaly, he is the man whose passport was lost
at the
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
(vide our No. PI.4/518 of 24th January, 1948.)
If the man in question is not the same, we shall be
pleased if we can be supplied with further particulars, such
as, his designation and the period of his employment with us etc.
Yours faithfully,
or & on behalf of
