Vir Chakra (VrC)

On the night of 1 September 1965, Major Jagdish Singh was with a company which launched an attack on an objective in the Poonch Sector. The company came under heavy enemy fire and Major Jagdish Singh was wounded. Undaunted, he accompanied the battalion commander right up to the objective and personally directed the artillery fire accurately. He was thus able to reduce the number of casualties of his own troops.

Throughout, Major Jagdish Singh displayed exemplary courage and determination.
