Liberation war and List of freedom fighters

 

 

The participation of the people of Chapainawabganj in the war of independence of Bangladesh in 1971 was all-encompassing and spontaneous. In the heroic struggle of the local freedom fighters and the people, it was possible to liberate the town of Chapainawabganj from the control of the Pak army at the last stage of the war of liberation. On 10 December the freedom fighters marched from the other side of the river Mahanandan to capture the town of Chapainawabganj. Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir led this group of about fifty fighters under the direction of the then Sector Commander Kazi Nuruzzaman. Although he arrived at the village of Bargharia on the banks of the Mahananda, he could not cross the river and enter the town before 13 December. That night Captain Jahangir divided his forces into three divisions and sent them to attack the city. He himself led a section and crossed the Mahananda in the middle of the night with his comrades and came to the outskirts of the city. He fought with the enemy at a place called Rehaichar. Fighting valiantly, Jahangir was forcing the Pak army and their allies to retreat from the battlefield when he was hit in the forehead by the enemy's ruthless bullets. Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir was martyred. Due to his heroic fighting and courageous war plan, the freedom fighters were able to liberate the city of Chapainawabganj on 14 December. Shaheed Jahangir was buried in the premises of the historic small Sona Mosque. The heroic deeds of the great Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir have become immortal in the hearts of the liberated people of Chapainawabganj and Bangladesh. The people of Chapainawabganj have played a glorious role in the war of liberation. Among the eleven sectors that were divided during the war of liberation, Chapainawabganj took part in the great freedom struggle. At the end of a long nine-month battle, on 16 December, Chapainawabganj was completely liberated. Being the glorious child of Chapainawabganj in the great war of independence:
