Brief

Shila Devir Ghat is an archaeological spot which is situated at the Mahasthangarh of Shibganj from Bogra district. This ghat is just around 200 meter apart from the Mahastangarh, and it’s beside the river Korotoa.

According to the legend, the Shila Devi was the beautiful daughter of the king Parshurama, some people used to say she was the sister of the King Porshurama. After the war with King Shah Sultan, Shila Devi jumped inside the water of the Korota River to save her honor, and drowned herself.

The spot is known as the Ghat of Shila devi. But the scholars are counting this story as a myth. They believe that the original name of the place was ‘Shila Dvipa’, that means the island of stone. Anyway, the Hindus used to celebrate the Paus Narayani Bath annually at here.

তাহখানার পাশেই একটি পুকুর হল দফিউল বালা। বলা হয়ে থাকে যে কেউ যদি এই পুকুরের পানি পান করে তবে তার রোগ মুক্তি ঘটবে। প্রত্যেকের কাছেই এই পুকুরের পানির আলাদা তাৎপর্য এবং পবিত্রতা আছে। সবরকমের রোগ থেকে মুক্তিলাভের আশায় ধর্মসচেতন মুসলমানরা এবং আরও অনেকেই এই পুকুরের পানি পান করেন।

বলা হয়ে থাকে যে শাহ নিয়ামত উল্লাহর সময়ে এই পুকুরের পানি এতটাই দুষিত ছিল যে এর পানি পান করলে মৃত্যু ঘটত। শাহ নিয়ামত উল্লাহ তাঁর কিছু মুরীদসহ এই পুকুরের পানি পান করার পর তা দূষণমুক্ত হয়।

At the North Bengal Sugar Mills Ltd. at Gopalpur in Natore district, about one hundred innocent people, officers, laborers, staffs and others of the mills, were killed on the staircase of a pond in the main mill premises by machine gun burst-fire on May 5, 1971 by the beastly Pakistani soldiers. This holy pond is now called “Shaheed Sagar” by the local people.

On 1971 30th March in Lalpur Upazila, 4km to north of Gopalpur in Moynapur Village there was a war of Khan Senas. Next day when Major Reza Khan planned to escape he was shot by the public. In order to prevent Pakistani army for landing on the airport the local people demanding freedom broke the runway and maid the Iswardi Airport inactive. There was a horrendous condition in the town yet for the sake of sugar cane cultivators, each people were assigned individual responsibilities in the mills. In May 5 1971 despite the surrounding conditions Mill was active.

Then suddenly a group of Pakistani soldiers with the help of some Rajakaars entered the mill. The brush fired and killed the administrator Lt. Anwarul Azim and other employees of the mill. After killing them they left all the dead bodies in the pond. After Liberation this pond was named as Sagor Dighi. In 1973 in memory of Lt. Anwarul Azim Gopalpur railway station was named as Azimpur Station.
