A less known incident about the Barack valley language movement happened on this day, 19th May, 1961. Tribute to language martyrs.

১৯৬১ সালের ১৯ মে, আরো একবার নিজের ভাষার জন্য প্রাণ দেন ১১ জন বাঙালি। আসামের বরাক উপত্যকার শিলচর রেলস্টেশনে (তৎকালীন তারাপুর) পুলিশের গুলিতে নিহত হন ৯ জন, পরে আরো ২ জন। স্বাধীনতা সংগ্রামী উল্লাসকর দত্ত, এই নয় জনের জন্য বিশেষ শ্রদ্ধাজ্ঞাপন করেন। ছবিতে রইলো সেই ১১ জন, যারা ভাষার জন্য প্রাণ দিলেন আরো একবার।

On 19 May 1971, once again 11 Bengalis were martyred for their language. Nine were killed and two others were injured in police firing at Silchar railway station (then Tarapur) in Assam's Barak Valley. Freedom fighter Ullaskar Dutt paid special tributes to these nine people. They will remain immortal in the context of language movements.
