The High Court (HC) has ordered the authorities concerned to construct a monument at the place in Salanga of Sirajganj, where British police massacred more than 4,000 Bangalees on January 27, 1922, reports BSS.
A HC bench of Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice S M Masud Hossain Dolon issued the rule..
"The court in its rule asked the authorities concerned to explain why it shall not direct them to take necessary steps to declare January 27 as a national day commemorating the Salanga massacre victims," said Adv Asad Uddin, who moved a writ petition filed in this regard.
More than 4,000 innocent Bangalees were killed by the British police force on that day as they were protesting against the oppression of the local zamindars and the trade monopoly of British goods in the local market. According to local sources, around 10,000 people were killed on that day.
