Vir Chakra (VrC)

On the night of 7 September 1965, Havildar Fidu Ram, in charge of a signal detachment, was in a party of forward observers in the Sialkot Sector. When it became necessary to fire on a strongly held enemy target, it was found that the wireless set was ineffective due to enemy. interference and jamming. Although enemy shells were bursting all around, Havildar Fidu Ram, with complete disregard for his own safety, continued to man the wireless communication. In doing so, he showed commendable courage and skill.
