Vir Chakra (VrC)

Major Ravi Kumar was commanding a company of Sikh Light Infantry, which was assigned the task of capturing an enemy post in the Western Sector. Due to the narrow approach, the assault had to be in section groups and Major Ravi Kumar was with the leading section. The assault was held up due to effective fire from an enemy medium machine gun firing from a bunker. Realising the importance of silencing this gun, Major Ravi Kumar, with complete disregard for his safety, crawled up to it and killed the crew with a grenade. The company inspired by the daring act rushed the enemy post and captured it, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy.

In this action, Major Ravi Kumar displayed gallantry, determination and leadership of a high order.
