A PEOPLE'S REPORT Closely on the heels of genocide by alien Army in Dacca, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Jessore and Joydevpur, fresh brutalities have been perpetrated by the mercenaries in Saidpur. In indiscriminate Army firing, 15 unarmed Bengalee villagers were reportedly killed yesterday. This barbarous genocide has been committed by lower ranks adventurists in the Army in a calculated manner to foil the President's efforts for thrashing out political settlement with the Awami League Chief, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. It is reported that on the plea of disturbances between the locals and non-locals, the Army took up positions at various localities of Saidpur and resorted to unprovoked and indiscriminate firing killing 15 persons and injuring 50 others. On receipt of this news, the Deputy Commissioner of Rangpur rushed to the scene and requested the Commander of the Army men deployed there to withdraw in the interest of peace and tranquility. But the Army men refused to oblige him. Under the cover of West Pakistan Army protection, the non-locals set fire to the houses of the locals which resulted in commotion. Saidpur is predominantly inhabited by settlers from outside who have been used by the lower ranks adventurists of the Army in a bid to aggravate the present political crisis further. In another trouble spot, also predominantly inhabited by non locals, Mirpur, tension prevailed throughout the day yesterday following the incidents that took place the night before. The Punjab Regiment moved into the areas yesterday morning. A reign of terror had been let loose in the area from 12 noon to 2-30 p.m. Police and E.P.R. reached the disturbed area after 2–30 p.m. Guns, bombs and various other weapons were freely used by the miscreant while attacking the houses where the new flag of Bangladesh were hoisted in the day. Two live bombs were still lying in front of the Quarter No. 12 and 16 at Lane No.9, Block B, Section 13, at the time of writing this report. A Private Car No. Dacca Ga- 71 17 was seen moving in the area carrying the Army of Punjab Regiment.
