Citation
On 20 October 1962, when our post at Chandani in Ladakh was attacked by the Chinese, Sepoy Lobzang Chhering fought with courage and determination. Even though severely wounded, he stuck to his post until he was overpowered and killed.
His valour in the face of the enemy was in the highest traditions of our army.
