Vir Chakra (VrC)

Naib Risaldar Jagdish Singh was in command of the leading troop of a squadron of Central India Horse, which, with support of an infantry battalion, attacked Burki village in the Lahore Sector on 10 September 1965. As his tank entered the village it was damaged by a mine. Undaunted, he brought down accurate and heavy fire on the enemy force at Burki bridge and helped the infantry battalion to complete its operational task and capture the objective swiftly. 

Naib Risaldar Jagdish Singh was always in the forefront and set a fine example to his men who were inspired by his courage.
