68 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্র : দশম খন্ড from Gangadhar bazar toward Chittagong trough the gen axis Dacca-trunk rq. While retreating en had blown off Shorbhapur and other important brs. Crossed the river Fenny by jurinda (boats) and reached Karerhat at midnight on 8" December. On 9" December morning, I was asked with my coys to lead 32 Mahar with one of their coy of Maj Vasker on the main rd: Capt Ali an Allied Arty OP was with us. En had been shelling continuously on us while withdrawing. Reached Zoraganj and deployed my troops there. Maj Rafiq Sector Comd and Mr. Mosharraf Hossain MCA of Zoraganj area joined us here and cheered a lot. Now three Coys were advancing on three axes-I was with my coy on the rly axis towards Sitakund, Maj Gurunf with his coy on Dacca trunk ra axis and Maj Vasker on the right of the rq through cross country. Reached BARAIYADHALA Rly Sta early in the morning at 0345 hrs after walking with my coy throughout the night. Here I found old coys of mine who infiltrated inside Bangladesh long ago in the month of October 71 under Lt Raqib, Farooq and Shawkat. Lt Raqib had been operating around Mirersarai, Lt. Farooq around Sitakund and Lt Shawkat around Nazihat and Hathzari. I was very happy to meet all of my old Sub-Sector troops safe and sound, except some troops under Lt Shawkat died in Nazirhat operation. En concentrated in larger str in and around Sitakund. A new task was given to 32 Mahar by Brig Anand Sorup this time. I was told to go in the rear of the en, behind Sitakund with my Coy and a Coy of 31 Jat under Maj Prakash to make a rq-block by 0400 so that the en cannot escape from there; and Lt Col Hargobind singh CO 32 Mahar himself with one of the coy and Majgurung with another coy were attacking the en at Sitakund Rly Sta. the attk was launched at midnight and most of the en had already left the posm by then except some of the rear party who while tying to escape now came in front of our posn; some of them got killed and some surrendered. Here I got Lt Mansoor and Lt Farooq again with their Coys and started advancing in three axes-Lt Mansoor by the axis Rly line, myself by the Dacca-trunk ra and Lt Farooq on the right of the rq by the coastal areas. On 15" December we reached Kumira with all Sector troops and deployed them there. En had been shelling heavily on our positions, unluckily one of the shell landed on Capt Ali, an allied Arty OP who had been with me since last few days from Karerhat, and died on the spot. My first allied Arty OP with my Coy was Capt Darkunde at Belonia and Capt Ali was our 2" Arty OP who had been staying, sleeping, eating, operating with me and lasting died in our country soil. On 16" December 71, Lt Col Bisla CO 8 Bihar, my old and close Sub Sector neighbour, requested me much to accompany him this time for next operation upto Chittagong City. His area of operation was Fayez Lake one of the thickest Bihari centre where hundreds of innocent Bengalis were slaughtered. CO32 Mahar did not want to leave me and I became a shuttle cock there with my troops. I did not accompany anyone till I got permission from my Sector Comd. En had been still shelling blindly. Last victim was Sub Mafiz EPR of Lt Mansoor’s Coy, who died on the spot when shell landed by his side. Gen NIazi with his troops surrendered. Bangladesh was liberated.
