Vir Chakra (VrC)

Sepoy Kisan Rao Jagadale was with a company of Maratha Light Infantry, which was assigned the task of capturing an enemy position in the Eastern Sector. During the attack the company was subjected to very heavy machine gun and artillery fire. Sepoy Jagadale, with complete disregard for his safety, crawled up to the medium machine gun bunker, which had held up the attack, and silenced it with a grenade. Thereafter, he engaged the remaining enemy machine gun posts with his light machine gun till they were silenced. 

In this action, Sepoy Jagadale displayed gallantry, determination and devotion to duty of a high order.
