Mohanpur and Amlia (Indian B.O.P) side and another portion retreated towards Biral border where we had already rear head quarter under command of Capt. (now Lt. Col) Nazrul IIaque and Sub Maj (now D.A.D) Osman Ghani. Biral is situated in the western side of Kanchan river. Peoples of the locality rendered all possible help to our troops. In village Tefra about 100 families of us were accommodated in Hajibari with food and other help by villagers.
Enemy launched attack with the support of artillery on Biral area on 16th 17th April, 71 at about 14-00 hrs. A tough fight continued for over 3/4 hrs. and enemy occupied Brial by the evening but sustained heavy casualty. During the fight our Ilav. Nesar Ali of Ex-E.P.R. became Shaheed.
After the fall of Biral our troops retreated towards Panchpara village, extreme border of Bangladesh. Here our troops were exhausted and tired and to some extent disappointed for want of heavy and medium arms and ammunitions, transport, rations and treatment for the injured persons. Thanks to B.S.F. and Indian political leaders who boosted our morale and rendered all possible help. Thus we got ready ourselves for an attack on Pak enemy. After Biral enemy captured Kishorganj B.O.P. which was next to Brial towards Indian border, Radhikapur. Our plan was now to drive out enemy from Kishorganj and Panchpara area.
As per approved plan on 2nd May `71 at dawn our troops attacked Kishorganj B.O.P. area from three axis and there was a good battle. Students of Dinajpur also took part in the fight and both the side sistained good casualties. Enemy oped long range weapons from Biral approximately 15 miles away from border and approximately 10 miles from Kisorgonj B.O.P. Most of the enmy bombs fell on the refugee camps established by the Indian Govt. at the Radhikapur. One died on the spot and several got injured in the camp. This was willfully done by the enemy. So the Indian authority put pressure on Mukti Bahini to stop their fight agaist pak army. After tough fight Kishorganj was recaptured by our E.P.R. forces, Ansars, mujaheeds and students in the evening of the same day and enemy retreated towards Birol.
On 3rd May 71 Major Bedi of B.S.F. came to Radhikapur and advised Sub Maj Osman Ghani not to launch any frontal attack on Pak army which may cause heavy disadvantage in the training of Mukti force. To train future M.P this was most necessary. After this tactical action of M.1. was confined to raids, ambush and guerilla activities. In these actions our scpoy Tuta Mia became Shaheed.
Next day on 4th May 71 pak officers arranged a flag meeting with Indian B.S.F and told them that Bengali E.P.R troops had killed over 50 pakistani soldiers during yesterday's fight and had requested Indian B.S.F officers to handover the Bengali E.P.R. troops to them who had taken shelter in India. B.S.F. officers flatly denied that any Bengali E.P.R troops had been staying in and Indian territory. Thereafter we continued regular raid, ambush and guerilla fight against Pak army till June 1971.
Troops under command of sub Major A. Rab who had withdrawn towards Baragram, Khanpur and Amlia border were recoganised and put on protective standing patrol around the area to stop further enemy advance.
