Pabna evacuees tale of woes
From our Correspondent, KRISHNAGAR, APL. 11 This correspondent met 25 families at Krishnanagar City station who have just evacuated from Pabna town as a result of untold tyranny by the Pak Army. They described with tears the horrors and inhuman treatment of the Pak military machine gunning the people including women and children from planes. The town of Pabna now looks like a burial ground. The Civilian population was either mowed down by machine guns or evacuated almost entirely. These evacuees from Pabna include a marwari family and others Bengalee Muslim families supporting Mujibar Rahman.
