Vir Chakra (VrC)

On 18 November 1962, the Chinese forces attacked the Rezangala company post in Ladakh after heavy concentration of artillery and mortar fire. The defending company was greatly outnumbered but continued to fight very gallantly and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.

Jemadars Surja, Hari Ram and Ram Chander set a fine example by their actions. They continued to rally and encourage their own men in spite of the heavy casualties suffered by them and displayed courage and devotion to duty of a high order.
