Vir Chakra (VrC)

9 December 1971, during the attack by a battalion of Kumaon Regiment on an enemy post in the Rajasthan Sector, Gunner Tek Ram was the radio operator with the forward observation officer's party. In spite of heavy enemy artillery and small arms fire, Gunner Tek Ram kept up the radio communication, thereby enabling our own guns to effectively neutralise the enemy position and ensure success of the attack.
