S. 0) TOJ By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The war between India and Pakistan ended today, with the new nation of Bangla Desh established in East Pakistan. In 14 days of fighting more than 2,000 Indian soldiers had died, at least that many Pakistanis and uncounted civilians. President Agha Mohammed Yayha Khan of Pakistan accepted India's proposal for a cease-fire on the western front. "I am accepting the Indian proposal for a cease-fire in the interest of peace and stability on the subcontinent," he said.

Yahya ordered Pakistani forces in West Pakistan to halt the fighting at 9:30 a.m., EST, the time set by India in a unilateral cease fire. Only 24 hours earlier he had vowed to fight "until all occupied areas are taken back," India announced the cease fire Thursday after Pakistan's army had surrendered in East Pakistan, 1,000 miles from the western front. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi greeted Yahya's acceptance by saying: "I must be careful because I don't know yet whether it will be a full peace." If the decision were left to India, she added, "there will be a full peace, but we cannot say this about Pakistan." Official sources in New Delhi said India suffered more than 10,000 casualties in the war on both fronts 2,307 killed, 6,163 wounded, and 2,163 missing. Of these 1,021 were killed in the east and 1,286 in the west, they added. There have been no figures on Pakistan losses, but the Indian Defense Ministry says Pakistan's losses are much higher than India'sand few doubt this.

The future of Yahya Khan's military government is in doubt. He had moved recently to transfer control to civilians, and this trend will gain impetus under such men as Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. As deputy prime minister and foreign minister, he says Pakistan should have democratic government soon. The commander of India's eastern front said some Pakistani soldiers in outlying areas apparently had not received instructions from their headquarters in Dacca and were still fighting. These included units at Khulma, 90 miles southeast of Dacca, and near Sylhet and Comilla in the north and east.

Lt. Gen. J. S. Aurora, who accepted Pakistan's surrender in Dacca, said his troops will remain in East Pakistan for a time to help repatriate war prisoners, re-establish law and order and communications, and help with the return of Bengali refugees from India.

He expected most Indian forces to withdraw within weeks. The general was hailed as a hero by the Bengalis. He said the defeated soldiers from West Pakistan were being allowed to keep their weapons until they arrived in POW camps because of fear that vengeful Bengalis "would butcher them" in reprisal for the Pakistani Army's war on the Bengali independence forces since last March. "The bitterness in Dacca you have to see it to believe it," he told reporters. He denied that the Mukti Ba-hini, the Bengali guerrillas, have begun killing captured Pakistani soldiers.

Aurora said he expected all Pakistani troops to be disarmed within two days and movement of the prisoners of war to India to begin "as soon as it can." In a short speech to her Parliament, Mrs. Gandhi said India wants to build its relations with Pakistan on a "basis of friendship." "This is what precipitated us to call the western cease-fire," she said. India had Soviet backing in the war while China supported Pakistan, but there has been no evidence of direct intervention by either power. The Soviet role included vetoes in the United Nations to delay a call for cease-fire. Mrs.

Gandhi said: "The coming months will especially bring new and complex problems. We must be very vigilant to safeguard our integrity and interests and above all our fundamental beliefs of our national existence." A Bangla Desh civil administration, led by four senior civil servants, was going to Dacca to take over general administrative responsibilies. Gen. Aurora will exercise over-all supervision. Mrs.

Gandhi again' pledged no reprisals against the Pakistani soldiers in East Pakistan or the East Pakistanis who collaborated with them. She expressed hope that Sheik Mujibur Rahman, the East Pakistani political leader held prisoner by Yahya Khan, "will take his rightful place and lead the Bangla Desh people to peace, progress and prosperity." Sheik Mujib was arrested in March when the West Pakistani army cracked down on the East Pakistani secessionist movement. Radio Pakistan claimed that before the cease-fire Indian and Pakistani troops were engaged in heavy fighting near Shakar-garh in the Sialkot sector near the border of southern Kashmir. It said: "Indian forces have suffered sizable losses of tanks and personnel." An Indian spokesman said a tank battle raged for the third straight day about 10 miles inside West Pakistani territory, near Sialkot. The spokesman claimed Indian forces also had occupied three more Pakistani posts in the Kargil range of northern Kashmir, bringing to 36 the number of Pakistani positions the Indians claim to have taken in the mountains.

(Story on Ps 1A) CALCUTTA (AP) The commander of India's eastern front said today that defeated Pakistani soldiers are being permitted to keep their weapons until they are safely in prisoner of war camps' because of fear that the vengeful Bengalis "would butcher them." "The bitterness in Dacca you have to see It to believe it," Lt.

Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora told newsmen. Aurora, who Thursday accepted the surrender of Pakistani forces in East Pakistan to the cheers of Bengali throngs, said he expected all Pakistani troops to be disarmed within two days. Movement of prisoners of war from camps in East Pakistan to India will begin "as soon as it can," he said. Aurora said Some Pakistani troops who apparently had not received surrender instructions from their headquarters in Dacca were still fighting up to this morning.

The general said Indian soldiers would remain in East Pakistan to help repatriate war prisoners, re-establish law and order and communication lines and help return refugees from India to their homes, but he estimated that most Indian forces will withdraw within weeks. The bitterness of the combat was reflected in Aurora's comment on reports of atrocities committed on civilians by Pakistanis soldiers. "The number of cases that have been brought out indicates they shot a certain number of people before withdrawing," he said. "The treatment of women by Pakistani regulars was extremely bad there were places where we found women inside bunkers." At the surrender, the Pakistanis still had enough ammunition to have fought on for a long time, Aurora said, "but they had lost mobility entirely." Aurora was relaxed and joking as he talked with dozens of newsmen in a crowded briefing room in a downtown Calcutta office building. Aurora said he was surprised Thursday when Lt.

Gen. A. A. K. Niazi, the Pakistani commander, told him Pakistani troops and paramilitary rangers in the East had totaled 93,000.

"I was surprised. I thought they had about 70,000," he said. Aurora indicated the war had gone about as he had expected, although he had anticipated a longer campaign lasting up to three weeks. Concerning the safety of Pakistani prisoners, Aurora said: "We decided not to disarm the Pakistanis until we place them in camps for their own protection. I am absolutely certain they would have been butchered otherwise, the local resentment is so great" "We had to put a special guard on Niazi after the surrender signing." But Aurora denied that the Mukti Bahini, the Bengali guerrillas, have begun killing Pakistani soldiers captured around Dacca.

He said the guerrillas are returning prisoners over to Indian control.
