DACCA, Pakistan, Nov. 25—Only scattered shelling and harassing attacks were reported today along the East Pakistan border, where Indian and Pakistani soldiers fought major clashes in the last several days, according to a senior Pakistani military commander.

The commander, Maj. Gen. Rao Farman Ali Khan, adviser to the Governor of East Pakistan, said in an interview that field reports indicated that conditions were returning to their normal tenseness along the border with no new clashes of any size reported in the last 24 hours,

The situation now is much calmer,” the general said. “On Sunday, when the attacks came, it looked as if the war had started, but it was not so.”

Indians Reported Repulsed

Since then, the general said, the Indians have attacked in brigade and battalion strength at three points across the border but have been driven back. No fresh fighting have been reported near Jessore where, the general said, Indian troops and East Pakistani guerrillas control Pakistani territory‐8,000 yards inside the border.

He said that Indian troops had been pushed back across the border cast of Sylhet and held only a small slice of Pakistan on low ground ease of Comilla, where major fighting was reported on Tuesday.

Additional sources of manpower would have to be mobilized to cope with the border threat and the possibility of renewed attacks by Indian troops, the general said.

“There will be additional troops,” he added, implying that more Pakistani soldiers would be airlifted in from the western wing of the country. There are now an estimated 80,000 West Pakistani soldiers in East Pakistan.

General Farman said that the attacks had been made by a “mixed force” of Indian soldiers and Mukti Bahini (Liberation Forces, or Bengali insurgents) trained and armed on Indian territory.

“They come in and take the territory and turn it over to the Mukti,” he said. “That's why it's so easy for us to take it back. The Indians try to get out before we counterattack and so it is a sheer massacre of the Mukti Bahini, I think.”

Yesterday reporters were flown by helicopter to Comilla. They were shown seven bodies identified as those of Indian soldiers. They were told dozens more lay on a battlefield several hundred yards from the border where, the Pakistani Army said, an Indian battalion had been wiped out two days before.
