Remembering ''Black Night 1971'' in Bangladesh

DHAKA, BANGLADESH - MARCH 25 : Prachyanat School of Acting and Design take out a procession Lal Jatra (Red Procession), to remember making the genocide by Pakistani Army on March 25, 1971 in Dhaka, Bangladesh on March 25, 2018. On this black night in the national history, the Pakistani military rulers launched ''Operation Searchlight'' killing some thousand people in that night crackdown alone. As part of the operation, tanks rolled out of Dhaka cantonment and a sleeping city woke up to the rattles of gunfire as the Pakistan army attacked the halls at Dhaka University, then East Pakistan Rifles (now Border Guard Bangladesh) headquarters and Rajarbagh Police Lines, killing the several thousand unarmed Bengalis on the single night. The planned and designated centres of offensive operations under that plan were Dhaka, Khulna, Chittagong, Comilla, Jessore, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Saidpur and Sylhet areas, where West Pakistani army units were concentrated.
