Dinajpur mine blast

This refers to the featured news "Dinajpur 'mine blast tragedy' day today: Hundreds of FFs were killed on this day in 1972" (January 06, 2008). The accidental mine blast on January 06, 1972 at the Dinajpur Maharaja Girizanath High School Mukti Bahini Transit Camp is a tragic episode of the Bangladesh Liberation war. Hundreds of freedom fighters lost their lives and about an equal number of them were seriously injured. This was the highest number of casualties among the FFs in a single incident. Around that time a similar tragic accident happened in the eastern sector. Very sadly, now few people know and remember these unfortunate incidents of Bangladesh Liberation War.
In the late '80s, I had the opportunity of meeting several of the injured freedom fighters (Dinajpur) - listening to their 1971 heroic activities, the neglect and ill-treatment from the government and the ungrateful society. Their conditions have not changed much over the years. The government and non-government organisations should provide full medical facilities and proper rehabilitation to all living, injured and crippled freedom fighters and their families.
Also, I urge the respected Sector (and Sub-Sector)- and Battalion (and Company)-commanders of 1971 to visit all the old district headquarters, historic battle areas and killing fields to make the young generation aware about liberation war history and the sacrifices of freedom fighters and common people and also to mobilise them against the war criminals.
