Mahavir Chakra (MVC)

Subedar Mohinder Singh was commanding a platoon of a battalion of Punjab Regiment in an attack on a well-fortified enemy post supported by medium machine guns in the Kargil Sector. The attack was held up by enemy medium machine guns which were effectively bringing down a heavy volume of fire. He exhorted and inspired his men by personal example to maintain momentum of the attack. With utter disregard for his personal safety, he charged forward, destroyed one of the medium machine gun bunkers and inflicted casualties on the enemy in close combat. His personal example and gallantry so inspired his men as to ensure success of the attack.

Throughout, Subedar Mohinder Singh displayed conspicuous gallantry and leadership.
