 In the meantime source report reached me that all the M.N.As and M.P.As and prominent town leaders would be called in a conference in the evening in Dinajpur Army IIQ and after conference during a tea they would be killed. After it, leaders in jail would be dealt with and after at about 17-00 hrs attack would be lunched against Bengalee EPR. All available M.N.As/M.P.As were told not to attend the conference through our source.

 At about 10-30 hrs on 28.3.71 (Sunday) Hav Nazim came to me with tears in his eyes. He was ststing that about 200 men were killed by Pak army last night and some dead bodies were lying near his house and informed me that he had been asked by 8 Wing QM IIav Muslim Ali and Sector QM Ilav Khandaker Abu Sayed to contact me for the instruction as to what step we should take now. I told him to wait for our zero hour and in case if I was unable to reach them, they should not wait for the order order but go ahead with the plan (i.e., our time was 1600hrs). It may be mentioned that Subedar Badsha Ahmed (Behari) was called from his border coy (Biral). Though 28.3.71 was Sunday yet Sector Comd and other non-Bengalee officers held a meeting in the office upto 1400 hrs. After meeting, an order was passed to provide one Pl to subedar Badsha Ahmed for outside use with arms and weapons as per his demand. There was an army signal set in EPR line since the arrival. of army in Dinajpur and NCO In-charge (Punjabe) was called to circuit house and on return to line he asked his Bengalec operator to close the set. Due to the demand of one PI str by Sub Badsha Ahmed along with 3" Mor, MMG and LMG and removal of wireless set from line we were compelled to shift our 'H' hour one hour and 15 minutes ahead of our schedule time. As soon as officers left the office, arms Behan to be issued to the men of Sub Badsha Ahmed PI and with these arms men were deployed as per plan. Hardly our men could reach their position when first fire came from circuit house and we responded with 3" Mor and MGS, LMGS from our posn to that and another party started dealing with non-Bengalee LPR pers who had already made a plan to kill us along with their W/Pak brothers. By this time heavy shelling and LMG fire from both sides was in full swing. Firing was so intense and heavy that I could not instantly reach my R.V as my quarter was situated in between circuit house and EPR lines. Firing continued throughout the night with intermittent break. During this break I managed to reach R.V and directed the operation. One M.M.G. 1x3"Mor was placed on the Kanchan bridge to cover any enemy approach through ferry ghat and RLY bridge. In the meantime all our heavy arms and ammo were removed to the circuit house on gun point by Cap Adji Ahmed were removed to the other side of the river with the help of local public. Our MO with his family, Capt Nazrul IIoque with his family and wife of Capt Nazir Ahmed were removed to the circuit house on gun position on roof of Mission building which was at a distance of 200/250 yds from our posn. In the meantime I sent instructions to all border coy comds and their BOPS to start operation aganist the enemy and join with us leaving 2 men in each BOP and they did it.
