Liberation of Mymensingh
 
The nine-month liberation war of Bangladesh started on 27 March 1971 as people started to fight against Pakistani forces at EPR Camp (in mymensingh) killing all the Pakistani soldiers, Mymensingh remained free from occupation army till 23 April 1971. Despite the genocide in Dhaka on 25 March 1971, Mymensingh remained calm except for killing of Biharis. On 17 April PAF aircraft bombed and strafed innocent people at Shambhuganj gudaraghat which sparked violence and killing continues for seven days of Beharis in different Behari camps in Mymensing town killing about 30,000 Biharies. The killing of Biharis (in Mymensingh) is a dark spot in Bangladesh history. The senseless killing of All Bihari men and young adults took place in Sanki pAra Behari coloni. All the  Biharis were slaughtered on those fateful nights. Fight against Pakistani forces was conducted by freedom fighters who were trained in camps in Dalu and Meghalaya across the northern border. Mymensingh became free as the Pakistani occupation forces deserted Mymensing on 10 December, and Mukti Bahini took over on 11 December, just five days ahead of the victory of Dhaka on 16 December.
