Comprehension Passage

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
Surya Sen led the Chittagong armoury attack on April 18, 1930. Sen formed a group of young and passionate revolutionary young men like Ganesh Ghosh, Lokenath Bal, and Ananta Singh. He planned to capture two major British armouries in Chittagong and distribute weapons to other revolutionaries who could then establish an armed unit. The group succeeded in dismantling the telephone and telegraph systems to isolate the city. They also broke down the railway links between the city and the rest of Bengal.

On the night of April 18, one of six groups, led by Ganesh Ghosh, took out the Police Armoury, while the other of 10 members headed by Lokenath Bal captured the Auxiliary Force Armoury, which contained Lewis guns and 303 army rifles.

Despite capturing these armouries, the revolutionaries were unable to find ammunition. The revolutionaries understood that it was impossible to engage the British in an open battle without ammunition in tow. Understanding the consequences of this revolt, they left for the Chittagong hills, looking for a safe place to stay.
