"Thousands of visitors and a group of freedom fighters from Orissa and West Bengal on Friday visited Chasakhand, a sleepy village in Orissa's Balasore district that sees a flurry of activity every year on September 10 - the death anniversary of freedom fighter Baghajatin and his four companions. Baghajatin, popularly known as Bengal Tiger, fell to British bullets on Sep 10, 1915, after his four-man army waged a courageous battle at Chasakhand. He continues to be an undying link between West Bengal and Orissa. Born as Jatindranath Mukherjee on December 7, 1889 in Koya village of Kushtia district of undivided Bengal, the revolutionary was known to have fought the British tooth and nail. Chasakhand is perhaps the only memorial place which binds the two states as every year tourists and freedom fighters from West Bengal throng the spot to pay tribute to the revolutionaries".
