  Dacca
With Dacca City as centre, the diocese is bounded on the north by the Prefecture Apostolic of Assam, on the east by the Vicariates of Northern and Southern Burma, on the south by the Bay of Bengal, and on the west by the Bay of Bengal and the diocese of Kirishnagar.
Dacca City is three-fifths Mohammedan, and among the Hindus of Eastern Bengal the traditional caste will oppose, for some time at least, an effective barrier to the rapid spread of the Catholic Faith.
As Dacca, however, is the college town of India, the percentage of students being relatively greater here than in any other city of the empire, Catholicism has continually brightening prospects opening before it, in an around the capital of Bengal-Assam.

 Dacca, City of the Dead | TIME
Within hours after launching a tank-led offensive in Dacca and other East Pakistani cities on the night of March 25, the Pakistan army imposed a virtual flout on the brutal civil war in Bangla Desh (Bengal State) by expelling foreign newsmen.
Dacca was always a fairly dreary city, offering slim pleasures beyond the Hotel Intercontinental and a dozen Chinese restaurants ^ that few of its 1,500,000 people could afford.
A month after the army struck, unleashing tank guns and automatic weapons against largely unarmed civilians in 34 hours of wanton slaughter, Dacca is still shocked and shuttered, its remaining inhabitants living in terror under the grip of army control.

Dacca said that it would not allow the fence to be erected within 150 yards of the zero line on the Indian side.
Given the rough terrain in some places and the presence of houses at some other, the proposed fence in small patches did not adhere strictly to the 150-yard rule which, it must be noted, was only a cautionary yardstick and not a mandatory stipulation binding on India.
This decision ought to have been taken long ago since Dacca has been behaving in a most obstreperous manner against this country and needs must be firmly told to behave itself.

 Dacca Threatened by Fascists of the Koran
The operation was characterized by an absolute precision: the attacks, which were not intended to kill, caused two deaths (children who opened the bags) and a hundred wounded only, while tracts of the Jamaatul Mujahedin Bangladesh (JMB) were laid down near the debris.
