sector antitank platoon and with more NCOs and few others made plan that in case of untoward happenings sector SM (A Rab) will supply keys which he had kept earlier to open kotes and magazines gor getting arms and/ammos. Our plan for action was confined within few pers through whom men kept organised for any eventuality.

 On 17.3.71 Sector comd ordered QM capt Nazir Ahmed to make over all granade, Chinese arms to 26 FF Regt coys, who were at Dinajpur circuit house. In turn QM Capt ordered sector QM/Hay kh Abu Sayeed to hand over, but he did not make over.

 In the 2nd week of March 71 some non- Bengali JCOS/NCOS and ORs were closed from BOPs to Wing /Sector HQ to increase the non-Bengali strength and arms were issued to them for whole time. On 18.3.71 QM/Hav kh Abu Sayeed were ordered to hand over the key of sector armoury to N/Sub-QM Mohd Ibrahim (non- Bengali), but he did not hand over, rather he issued all Chinese arms to all Bengali family pers for which he was charged on 24.3.71 Finding the situation becoming aggravated day-by-day, I drew up a plan to face sudden untoward incidents, if any, and face the enemy.

 As arms and ammo control were out of our hand, one day during my talk with Col. I played tricks with him stating that his non-Bengali securith could not get truc political situation report from town as they were unable to mix-up with locals. So some trusted Bengalishould be deputed for this job who could mix-up with political parties and students freely and may bring correct information, Sector Comd having confidence on me, accepted my suggestion and asked me to depute 2/3 trusted Bengali boys for the job. Accordingly I deputed L/NK Abul Mannan, L/NK Motahar and Sepoy Mustifizur Rahman telling them to report to Sector Comd direct. I advsed them that during their report they would state that Awami League volunteers, students and N.A.P workers were being trained by Indian agents at dead of night in Rajbari mango garden and in other jungles outside the town and they had been issued wityh arms/ammos and they might suddenly attack EPR sector HQ, officers club and their bunglows. My motive behind this briefing to security team was that on hearing these reports C.O. most likely would call me and other officers and would ask far action. In that case my advice would be to dig out all round defence in lines, club and officer's bunglow and there should be dawn to dusk `stand to posn'.so arms/ammos may remain in our hand in spite of kotes and amgs being with the Punjabis. Sector Comd accepted my advice and ordered for implimentation. Immeditely I did the work as per plan and by the grace of Almighty Allah not a single Bengali EPR lost their lives without battle. Also lives of MNAS/MPAs and students leaders were saved.

 On 18.2.71 Sector Comd insisted D. C., Dinajpur, Mr. Faizuddin Ahmed to promulgate carfew in Dinajpur but D.C.declined to do it. Officers of 26 FF coys, and EPR non-Bengali officers on DC's refusal to impose carefew were trying to cause riots through their agents, mostly Beharies so that Army may get a chance to overrule D. C. and promulgate carfew. I managed to meet Prof Yousuf Ali in the house of Mr. Zaman (prop. Friends Electrical Stores) and a relation Bangobandhu and informed the situation. I informed the Awame League MNAs and other leaders through various Sources.
