#CentralSector : A a battalion group of 800 personnel & equipment was para-dropped at Tangail with a view to capture Lohajang Bridge & destroy enemy retreating from Jamalpur and Mymensingh.
The paradrop at Tangail along with the Indian Army's speedy advance unnerved the Pakistani commanders. This combined with messages to all levels of Pakistani Army to surrender resulted in the Governor of East Pakistan recommending a ceasefire to the Pakistani President.
#TangailAirdrop remains as one of India’s biggest airborne operations boldly executed by gallant forces. The successful paradrop fell on enemy like a roaring storm & shook the enemy.
