On the midnight of 24 July 1948, some 300 to 400 hostiles surrounded two companies of 4 G R at Kazalwan and opened up heavy mortar and MMG fire. Subedar Rudra Bahadur Pun, with complete disregard for his personal safety, crawled along the slope swept by enemy mortar fire and contacted the forward platoon. He succeeded in bringing down controlled and effective fire on the enemy.

While he was tallung to one of the ORs who was firing the LMG, an enemy MMG burst wounded the OR, blowing away two of his fingers. In the meantime they were running short of ammunition. He ordered the platoon commander to hold on and himself carrying the wounded OR through enemy fire, came back to headquarters. He collected the ammunition and carried it to the platoon position. 

On 27, 28 and 29 July, Subedar Rudra Bahadur Pun repeated several times similar acts of gallantry with complete disregard for his personal safety.
