Rifleman Mahilal was the leader of an LMG detachment detailed to assault a Pakistani position at village Chanva in the Sialkot Sector on 7 September 1965. The assault was temporarily halted by intense firing from a Pakistani MMG from the right flank. Completely disregarding his personal safety, Rifleman Mahilal approached the enemy gun, threw grenades into the post and silenced it. Rifleman Mahilal's courage and dedication to duty were an inspiration to his comrades and contributed largely to the success of the assault.
