 Things were quite different in 4 Sector Bangladesh Force (BDF). I will, however, endeavour to pen dawn in brief a real picture of the 4 Sector Bangladesh Force. Specially all the strategic battles we fought during the war of liberation. These are all my recollections and from the war diary I maintained during war.

 Major Chitta Ranjan Datta (now Colonel) was the Commander of 4 Sector from the beginning to the end. So I remember Sectors were formed sometimes in the month of May '71. The whole Bangladesh was divided into a number of Sectors for operational purposes. Sectors were again further divided into Sub-Sectors and so on. Beside the Sectors there were so many organized Bahinies like Hemayet Bahini, Kaderia Bahini etc. Although these were not very organized but aim remained the same-to eliminate oppressors from the soil of Bangladesh.

 Subject matter of my writing will however remain confined to 4 Sector Bangladesh Force which was covering a big area of approximate 100 miles border of Sylhet District (East and South East). From the border of Habigunj Subdivision in the South it was extended upto Kanaighat Police Station in the north.

Though people resisted with whatever they had it was purely in disorganized way. Our Bengal Regiments who revolted in a more less compact shape were slightly better off than those who revolted without parent units of their own.

 The whole Mukti Bahini was divided mainly into two groups, viz Niomito Bahini and Gono Bahini. Niomito Bahini comprised or regular armed forces personnels, Ex EPR, Police, Ansars and Mujahids. Besides the regulars of Army and EPR, others had very little knowledge of basic infantry weapons and their uses. They had to be given quick training in basic requirement of guerrilla as well as conventional war. The nonregulars, or course, picked up very quickly and later on produced very good result. Specially EPR persons fought very well. Their single contribution toward this Liberation war counted much. Upto the last day they never betrayed.

 So far as the Gono Bahini is concerned they were the Most dedicated and the symbol of courage and the heroism. This force mostly composed of students, peasants and the
