It was March 28 in 1971, after three days of the countrywide crackdown by the Pakistan occupation army, people of Pabna from every corner of the district regrouped and launched an attack on the trained Pakistan army at the old telephone office (now abandoned) with lethal weapons.
The troops fired back and continued firing ceaselessly till their bullets ended, but the people did not leave the battle field.
When the firing became less intense, the mass people entered into the camp and killed almost all of the occupation troops while few of them could flee.
