A public meeting was announced on 13th April, 19191 at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar to protest against the Rowlatt Act ( which gave vast powers to Police to search a place without any warrant and also allowed detention of political prisoners for about 2 years). The people were allowed to assemble there. After they had gathered there in thousands, General Dyer marched there with armoured cars and troops. Without any warning, he ordered firing on the unarmed and the peaceful gathering there. The casualties among the Indians were very heavy. Dyer's purpose behind this action was to create a feeling of terror and awe in the minds of the Satyagrahis.
