Chandicharan Sutradhar

At his workshop, Sutradhar shared information about the Bengali language movement and the problems of the Bengali speaking people with other protesters, such as Birendra Sutradhar.

[2] On 19 May 1961, a satyagraha was organized at the Tarapur railway station in Silchar demanding that Bengali become the medium of education and in protest against the decision of the Government of Assam to make Assamese the state's sole official language.

The rail blockade programme had passed off peacefully in the morning.

In the afternoon, the Assam Rifles had begun to arrive at the railway station.

Within a span of seven minutes, the troops fired 17 rounds of bullets.
