Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar
The Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar was an independent parallel government established in Tamluk, West Bengal, in India. It occurred during the Quit India Movement. The Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar had set up Police Stations, Military Departments, Courts and even a system for revenue collection. The Government functioned from December 17, 1942 to August 8, 1944. It was dissolved on the explicit directions of Mahatma Gandhi, taking note of the end of the Quit India Movement. The chief protagonists were Satish Chandra Samanta, Sushil Kumar Dhara, Ajoy Mukherjee and Matangini Hazra. It undertook cyclone relief work, gave grants to schools and organized an armed Vidyut Vahini and a Sisters Corps. Sushil Kumar Dhara commanded the Vidyut Vahini. The Government also has its own newspaper Biplabi.
In 2002, the Ministry of Communication of India released a Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar commemorative stamp. The stamp depicts Ajoy Mukherjee, who became the Chief Minister of West Bengal three times, and Matangini Hazra who laid down her life during the march.
