Vir Chakra (VrC)

Lance Naik Raghunath Singh was in the medium gun detachment with a company of Grenadiers during their attack on an enemy position in the Rajathan Sector on the night of 5 December 1971. In spite of heavy enemy shelling and machine gun fire, he supported the attack in a daring and effective manner. While lifting red-hot barrel he burnt his hand, but undeterred kept up a heavy volume of fire and thus contributed substantially to the success of the attack. 

In this action, Lance Naik Raghunath Singh displayed gallantry, initiative and determination of a high order.
