Early life


Kanailal was born in a Bengali Hindu family in Khilda village of the erstwhile Mymensingh district to Dwijendralal and Monorama Niyogi in 1924. After his studies he got a job in the Bengal Assam Railway. He was posted in Silchar, where settled with his family. After the Partition of India, Niyogi moved to Silchar permanently.

Martyrdom


As the Bengali Language Movement gained momentum in the Barak Valley, Niyogi was drawn into it. In spite of being a railway official he took part in the satyagraha on 19 May 1961.
[1] The primary agenda of the satyagrahis was a rail blockade at Tarapur railway station demanding the official status of Bengali in Assam. The rail blockade program passed off peacefully in the morning. However, in the afternoon, at around 2-35 pm the paramilitary personnel posted at the station started firing at the satyagrahis without any provocation.
[1] Niyogi suffered bullet wounds and along with others he was taken to Silchar Civil Hospital where he was declared dead. He left behind his wife, two sons and two daughters and his 70-year-old mother.
