New Delhi: The government on Tuesday released 50 more declassified files related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
Files released on Tuesday include matters pertaining to Netaji’s ashes and the probe into his disappearance following the controversial air crash of 1945 in which he is believed to have perished.
The latest release of 50 files will further meet the “continued public demand” to access these files and this will also help scholars carry out further research on Bose’s role in India’s freedom movement, a source said. The new batch of 50 files consists of 10 files from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), 10 from the home ministry and 30 files from the external affairs ministry, pertaining to the period from 1956 to 2009.
The first batch of 100 files, after their preliminary conservation, treatment and digitisation, was put in public domain by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 23.
In 1997, the National Archives of India had received 990 declassified files pertaining to the Azad Hind Fauj from the defence ministry, and in 2012 1,030 files/items pertaining to the Khosla Commission (271 files/items) and Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry (759 files/items) from the home ministry.  (IANS)
