Mahavir Chakra (MVC)

Major Daljit Singh Narang was commanding a squadron of cavalry which was attacked by two enemy battalions, supported by a squadron of Chaffee tanks. He skillfully and boldly manoeuvred his squadron despite heavy enemy fire and engaged and destroyed the enemy tanks. With utter disregard for his personal safety and undeterred by heavy enemy fire, he directed the fire of his squadron standing on the turret of his tank. When one of the tanks of his squadron was hit, he immediately, at immense risk to himself rushed to assist its crew in pulling out. His courage and fearlessness so inspired his command that they successfully decimated the enemy squadron of Chaffee tanks and stemmed the enemy advance. Major Narang was killed atop his tank by machine gun fire while leading his squadron. 

Throughout this action, Major D.S. Narang displayed outstanding leadership and determination. His conspicuous bravery, devotion to duty and supreme sacrifice is in the highest tradition of the Army.
