On 6 September 1965, when his company was attaching a strongly held enemy position in the Lahore Sector, Guardsman Dambar Bahadur Chhetri was seriously wounded in the chest by enemy medium machine gun fire. Despite his wounds, he rushed forward in the face of intensive enemy mortar and MMG fire, which again wounded him seriously. He was hit a third time by enemy automatic fire in the left shoulder and hand, but he staggered onto the objective and firing his weapon, inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy. After the final assault and capture of the objective, he dropped dead.

Guardsman Dambar Bahadur Chhetri displayed exemplary courage and determination.
