call was over the party opened fire with LMG's and rifles. The Pakistanis were taken completely by surprise in the open area of the BOP. By the time the Pakistan soldiers could jump into their their trenches and bunkers. 15 of them including one J. C. O. were casualties. In total 2 Pakistani platoons had assembled for the roll-call.

 At 5-00 in the morning of 29 September, another ambush was laid in East Madhupur by a section of guerillas. 3 Pakistani vehicles, apparently bringing some reinforcements, were ambushed. 2 of the vehicles were damaged. However the Pakistanis did not suffer any casualty in this action.

 That night at 11.30, raids were carried out on Ballavpur and Chagalnaya defence. Pakistani casualty in Ballavpur could not be ascertained. The raid on Chagalnaya was carried out under fire support provided by Indian artillery. In this action 5 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 7 were injured. One Pakistani artillery observer had taken position on a tree and was directing artillery fire against our forces. The raiding party located the observer and shot him down.

 Next morning at 4 an important culvert at Champaknagar was blown up and the Pakistanis there were cut off from receiving ration or reinforcement.

 On October 1. 16 guerillas under group leader Nizam raided a camp al Durgapur Iligh School in Mirsharai. The camp was mainly for the Razakars and it had earned notoriety in that area for creation a reign of terror and oppressing the people. After very careful preparation for a number of days the guerilla group raided the camp at night and in the fierce battle for more than one hour killed 20 of the collaborators and captured 7 rifles. While a number of Razakars put up some resistance initially, others fled away in the darkness of the night. In that operation one freedom fighter Farid was killed but before dying he himself had claimed 10 enemy died.

 Earlier that day at 10-30 hours a group of guerillas ambushed a section of the cncmy patrolling near Guthuma. One soldier was killed and the rest of the patrol party managed to run away, leaving behind the dead. Such ambushes during broad-day- light and the resultant success were encouraging and we were confident that the guerillas had achieved certain standard where we could start relying on them for much more effective action against the Pakistanis.
