On April 22, Pakistani troops were able to enter the city of Mymensingh.
The freedom fighters established their stronghold in Haluaghat Upazila, bordering the district.
Between May and November 1971, fierce fighting took place between the Pakistani occupation forces and freedom fighters in various places in the district and surrounding areas, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides.
On December 7, the freedom fighters liberated Haluaghat from the occupying forces and on December 8, they liberated Phulpur and Bhaluka upazilas.
Then the areas of Gauripur, Trishal, Ishwarganj and Tarakanda were liberated, where the brave freedom fighters forced the enemy to retreat from the occupied areas of the district.
On December 10, freedom fighters led by Principal Matiur Rahman entered the city, driving out the occupying forces.
A large number of freedom fighters and freedom-loving people of the district have sacrificed their lives for the independence of the motherland.

This old palace is located at the heart of the Muktagacha(মুক্তাগাছা) Upazila, 16km west to the Sadar Upazila. Previously the name of Muktagacha was Binodbari (বিনোদবাড়ী). It is believed that the Zamindars actually came from the Natore (নাটোর) or Bogra (বগুড়া) of our North Bengal. When the first ruler named Srikrishna Acharya (শ্রীকৃষ্ণ আচার্য) arrived here, a local inhabitant named Muktaram Kormokar (মুক্তারাম কর্মকার) welcomed them with a large lamp stand that was made from brass. In that portion of our country, people call a lamp stand as Gachha (গাছা)). This gratitude pleased the Zamindar and they have renamed the area as Muktagacha (মুক্তা গাছা) using that inhabitant’s name and the lamp stand’s local name.Srikrishna Acharya (শ্রীকৃষ্ণ আচার্য) established the Zamindari at Muktagacha formerly known as Binodbari. Later, his four sons Ram Ram, Hore Ram (হরে রাম), Bishnu (বিষ্ণু), Shibram (শিবরাম) and their inheritor conducted the Zamindari. The Owner of the Muktagacha Rajabari was Jogot Kishor Acarya (জগত কিশোর আচার্য), the son of Hore Ram Acharya (হরে রাম আচার্য). His ancestors started to build that Palace in the year 1750-60 which signifies that the structure is almost 300 yrs old.
