Teliapara Smriti Saudha (1971 Sector Commanders' Memorial)
তেলিয়াপাড়া স্মৃতিসৌধ
Where the Liberation War was organised: on 4 April 1971 the first sector commanders' meeting was held in the Teliapara tea-garden manager's bungalow — Osmani presided, with Ziaur Rahman, Khaled Mosharraf and other officers; the 11 sectors and the S, K, Z forces were decided here. A quiet, moving stop right on the Dhaka–Sylhet highway.
History & significance
The bullet-shaped memorial was built in June 1975 and opened by former army chief K. M. Shafiullah; Shamsur Rahman's poem 'Swadhinata Tumi' is carved at its front. 4 April is observed as historic Teliapara Day.
