The Destiny. Capt Ganesan left Bangladesh and reached Dharmanagar, a terminal Raiway stn from where the militaty special was to leave. Mostly all heavy Engineering equipments and about 250 personnel were the total load of the first military special which capt Ganesan was to take. The train started on 25th jan1972 and was moving towards Assam. Mostly it was non stop train but for some railway reasons like crossing of trains and military reasons like ration collections.26 Jan1972 Republic day radio commentry was coming and Ganesan was seated on a open wagon where a low loading trailer was loaded. He had put a small table and chair and comfortably seated and listening to the commentry and at the same time observing the natural scene on either side of the railway track.
Republic Day function started as usual with gallentry award of the top most honour. L/Nk Albert Ekka of the Guards Bn was awarded Param Veer Chakkra posthmously. this was one of the Battalion who entered East pakisthan from Tripura side. Their first battle was ballte of Akhoura in which Ekka had earned this Award. Ganesan kept on listening to the commentry and at the same time thought about the events that had taken place in the past few days. He was at CME happily going arround and playing games.No one would have thought that he will go to war. Even in the war zone how stupid of him to enter enemy territory alone and further go in civil dress to get informations. Had he been cought by Pak forces he would have been torchered badly with all vengens for them loosing their country. Ganesan thanked the cosmic force which brought him alive.
The military special reacher Rangapara North on 27th Jan followed by other parts of 4ER. Immedietly they were ordered to move to Western sector destination Jodhpur in the 2nd week of Feb72. At the same time the CME opened all the suspended courses and Ganesan was ordered to report CME by 12th Feb72. It appeare that he will be missing the operation in the western sector. But he thanked the cosmic force for keeping him alive and reported to CME.
