: 26. Roger. Aap apne Imam ko aur Markhor ko yeh khabar de deh. Out to you, hallo 41, hallo correction, hallo 16, hallo 41, hallo 88, did you receive? Over.
: 16. Wilco. Out.
: Out to you, hallo 88, did you receive this message which 41 just now read back? Over.
: 88 . . . disposed off. Over.
: 88. Yes, arrange to dispose them, you can use local labour and dispose them off away from the public places. Over.
: 88. When you can give us an estimate of casualties suffered by other side? Nothing more. Out.
Control : Out . . . necessary detachments for . . . the results of these are awaited. Suggest you can draft your sit. Rep. On the lines of what has occurred since about 01-00 hours this morning. Over.
: 99, hallo 99, since 01-00 hours for about half an hour we were not in contact with you, and after that we had to shuttle in between telephone and this place which is quite some distance. So we missed most of the transmission. Over.
Control : 99, subsequently these were reported to you starting from the from Belal's boys when they "caged the main bird" and subsequently the two telephone exchanges, the Police station at Ramna, People's Daily, the Reserve lines, then the action that is still continuing in area of university, plus the houses in Gulshan, correction, houses in Dhanmandi, the occupants of which had, were not traceable. Over.
: About the last transmission, which are the occupants who were not traceable from Dhanmandi?
: 99, regarding Tajuddin and Bhuiyan, they were not found at their places; similarly this place the Physical Training Institute which was supposed to have arms has not so far revealed any. Over.
: Is it the same Physical Institute in Mohammedpur area? Over.
: 99, yes. So there is nothing at that end yet. We will also take care of the Malkhana and the Lalbagh Fort. But that will follow. So you have most of the gist. Over.
: 99, we have heard everything from call signs 26 and 88, but what about the other call signs? Over.
Control : 99, 16 had very little resistance in which they killed four and wounded about ten, after that they were in full control of the position (Peelkhana of the East Pakistan Rifles, now Bangladesh Rifles) within about half-an-hour of H-hour. As regards 41, their operation to Tajuddin and Bhuiyan and the Training Institute, they captured some other people, but the main targets had packed up and left much earlier. Apparently they have all panicked and started leaving the city from some time yesterday. So they have blocked all the roads and secured the Second Capital Exchange, and have also set up blocks for any people trying to escape from the campus towards the west across the railway lines. Over.
: 99. Roger. Over.
Control : 99. Hope you are comfortable with your hostages. Over.
: 99. I am thinking as to how to feed them now. Over.
Control : 99. It will do them no harm if they don't see food for a while. So they can adopt the same policy that you have been doing for the last so many weeks. Out. (He is referring here to the policy of non-cooperation followed by Bengalis towards the west Pakistani soldiers during the first three weeks of March, 1971 when food etc for them had to be air-lifted from West Pakistan, or taken by force locally).
: Wait kare, oh aadmi bolane kiliye gaya hai. Wait. Out.

: 41. Roger. Out.
: 88. Message. Over.
: 88. Is Imam listening? Over.
: 88, 41 as you know is in position on the west of the Campus area. If you need any support from him you can mutually coordinate because he feels he can come in from behind onto any resistance still there. Of course, you will have to coordinate your fires. Over.
: 88. Roger. How far have you got? How much more to go? Over.
: 88. Quite appreciate your difficulties. How far are you from the railway lines? Can you give me some landmark now that daylight is approaching? Over.
