The Pakistani Government asserted yesterday that its military forces were in control in East Pakistan, with the independence movement defeated. But broadcasts from radio stations identifying themselves as voices of the resistance movement said there was heavy fighting in many cities.

For the second day the Government, based in West Pakistan, said in communiques and radio broadcasts that life was continuing to return to normal in Dacca, the East Pakistani capital, and in other cities, although it conceded that the port of Chittagong remained a trouble spot and disturbances continued in Khulna. European diplomatic reports from Dacca reaching New York
supported the account of calm in the capital.

But tight censorship continued, preventing most direct comunications with East Pakistan and making any independent check on the situation impossible.

Reports from foreign diplomatic sources in Dacca, given to the New York Times by unimpeachable sources in New Delhi, told of killings of civilians on a massive scale by West Pakistani troops between Thursday night, when the crackdown began, and Saturday night.

Reports of continued fighting between the army and civilian resistance forces were contained in Indian press dispatches coming from points on the Indian side of the border with East Pakistan. One thousand miles of Indian territory separate East and West Pakistan.
