seen that the proposal
was first considered in
1940 but had to be aban
doned because of lack of
funds and restrictions
on dollar exchange. In
1942, /hen the nues+ion
was again raised by the
Political Pesident in
the Persian "ulf, the
position in regard *to the
non-availability of air-
conditioning plant in
India was the same, but
the P.H. was asked to
ascertain whether any
units could be obtained
/ from any of the oil companies in the Gulf, an enquiry which
remained unanswered. In 1944 the master was again taken up and,
with a view to making preliminary enquiries and arrangements
for the supply of the plant to the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. as scon as the.
war ended, the P.H. was asked to furnish information regarding
the number of plants required end the number and description
of the buildings to be treated. This information is still
awaited. As soon as these preliminary enquiries are completed,
the Government of India will again explore the supply situation.
