As the Government of maie/are aware, the senior
\
officials of the Indo-European '.Telegraph Department at
Jask and Chardar used to perform consular functions such
as the issue of certificates of Identity, the granting of
visas, and the submission of reports, and for these they
received an allowance of Rs* 100/- per mensem. When
the Indo-European Telegraph Department v>as closed down
their officials although transferred to the Imperial and
International Communications Limited continued to
perform these functions, anticipating that they would
continue to draw these allowances. About three months
later, however, these activities on their part evoked
vigorous protests from the Persian authorities and
telegraphic instructions were sent to them to discontinue
any functions of a consular nature. Actually they still
continue to send me weekly reports of happenings in
their areas, and constitute the only link which 1 have
with that part of the coast. These allowances for a
period of four months have actually been disbursed by
the Company, who are pressing for repayment, and as
during this period these officials continued to perform
the functions which previously devolved upon them as
officers of the Indo-European Telegraph Department, 1
would request that the Government of India will be
pleased to allow me to disburse to them the allowances
specified above without awaiting the decision as to
whether they are to be accorded recognition as Consular
Agents or not.
