Sepoy Sivadanu Bhaskaran Nair was with a company of Madras Regiment which was assigned the task of clearing the enemy who had infiltrated into an area near the Ichhogil Canal. When his company came under accurate small arms fire from well sited enemy bunkers, Sepoy Nair rushed forward, threw three hand grenades and silenced three enemy LMGs. When he was about to approach the fourth enemy bunker, he was hit by a burst of LMG fire and killed.

Sepoy Nair displayed commendable courage and initiative.
