On the 10th December, 1971, Shri Chandan Singh Chandel who was commanding a Company of a Battalion of the Border Security Force, led an attack on a strongly fortified enemy post in the Kutch Sector. The enemy was supported by mortars, machine guns and anti-tank weapons. During the assault, his company was pinned down by heavy and concentrated fire from the enemy position. With utter disregard to his own safety, and moving from one position to another he encouraged his men and exhorted them to press forward with the assault. He led the charge and inflicted heavy causalities on the enemy in hand to hand fighting. The success in this objective was mainly due to his inspiring leadership and personal example.In this action, Shri Chandan Singh Chandel displayed exemplary courage, leadership and devotion to duty.
