The Re-organisation of Engineers

Re organisation.
  The corps of engineers role in war and peace was re emphasised as an important one and at the same time  getting together different field companies caused some administrative problems.Hence they were ordered to reorganise into Engineer Regiments comprising all units from one group only.This order came sometime in mid 1965 and in formations where accidentally they were all from the same group they immeditely re organised into Regiments.Ganesan's 44Field Park Company were ordered to move to 23Mountain Division and form into 4 Engineer Regiment.Accordingly an advance party from 44Field Park company was sent to 23 Mtn Div in july 1965 and similarly an adv party from 306 Field Park company(23 Mtn Div) came to 44 Field Park company.But the War situation came in between and units moved as it was along with adv party.
   Immediately after the war the units were ordered to impliment the Regimentation order.23Mtn Div which was located at Rangiya,Assam also took part in the war and had moved to Ludhiana,Punjab.After the cease fire the units were ordered to go back to their original locations.44 Field Park Company which was in Pak territory was ordered to move to Changsari,near Rangiya.
  Ganesan who was at Roorki university was informed about these changes and was ordered to move to Changsari on completion of the course at the University.
