The Pak army conducted mass killing, torturing and plundering; they also set many houses of the upazila on fire. Sulla is a haor area with difficulties to navigate and therefore, Pakistani soldiers did not dare to set their camp here. Freedom fighters did not have any direct encounter with them in the area. However, at one point of time, when the enemies took an initiative of establishing a temporary camp in the upazila, the freedom fighters attacked them and they were forced to quit the area leaving behind their arms and ammunitions at the local police station. 2 memorial monuments have been built in the upazila.
