Vir Chakra (VrC)

On 7 September, 1965, while leading a section during an attack on an enemy position in the Sialkot Sector, Naik Ganesh Datt saw that a light machine gun was inflicting casualties on his company and holding up its advance. With complete disregard for his personal safety, he crawled to the enemy trench and silenced the enemy light machine gun. In this action, he displayed commendable courage and initiative.
