THE INCEPTION – A BARREN BEGINNING

-------------------------------------------------

Laying the First Stones: The battalion’s genesis began
in March 2024, when Assistant Commandant Kiran
March–April 2024 Manohar Kujur reported to GC-KKT. With no
dedicated office or infrastructure, the unit operated
from the RGS office of GC-KKT, sharing resources
and parade grounds. Initial struggles included

Logistical Vacuum: Only one HC/GD, O.P. Tiwari,
represented the battalion initially.

Fighting for Space: Repeated appeals to DIG-KKT
for barracks yielded temporary solutions, such as
repurposing dilapidated ATC huts at Hathi Chowk.

Faulty barrack allotted PF Hut allotted which is
March 2024 insufficient for an unattached unit for following

branches like TE Coy, Cipher Coy, TRG branches, HQR
office, Signal centre and trainee’s classrooms etc., For
which at least 40 rooms required for above given
branches/training purpose.

Officers Sh. Amit Kumar, K. M. Kujur, and Choudhary
KaleemUlla spearheaded the cleaning and whitewashing
April 2024 of Type-II quarters. These became the battalion’s first

functional offices and living spaces.

Quote from the Field:

“The Type-II quarters were skeletal, filthy, and overrun with vegetation. Our men
worked tirelessly, scrubbing walls, repairing fittings, and reclaiming the land.”
