No Liberation War memorial in Chuadanga
Sunday, 19 December 2021
CHUADANGA, Dec 18 (UNB): As the nation celebrates the 50 years of independence Chuadanga goes without a memorial of the glorious Liberation War.
Chuadanga was an important place during the Liberation War. It bears some bitter memories of the war.
Pakistani soldiers entered Chuadanga from Meherpur on foot on December 6, 1971 days before the final victory in the war on December 16.
On the same day, they blew up the bridge on the Mathavanga River so that the freedom fighters could not reach them.
When Pakistani soldiers left Chuadanga and Alamdanga for Kushtia the following day, Chuadanga became completely free from the enemy.
Fifty years have gone by but no mausoleum has yet been built in Chuadanga. The lone memorial plaque located in Shaheed Hasan's Square in the district town remained neglected around the year except for national days.
