Tenacious Fighter Major Chaudhury
Period : 1962 Chinese AttackMajor Mohinder Singh Chaudhary joined the Punjab regiment in 1956 and was stationed in the NEFA area in 1962. On the 9th of October, Major Chaudhary established a post at Singjang, with two platoons. However, the Chinese attacked his position from two sides. Major Chaudhary found himself heavily outnumbered and short of weaponry, but he faced the enemy courageously. For more than 9 hours despite being wounded he inspired his men to resist a much superior armed force. He was finally ordered to withdraw. In a pitched battle fought 11 days later, he inflicted heavy causalities on the enemy. Major Chaudhary was decorated with the Mahavir Chakra in 1962. | Other CategoriesHero of Phir Thil Major Satyapal ChopraHavildar Fateh Singh Lone Gunner Sepoy Dewan Singh The Gallant Havildar Lance Havildar Daya Ram The Unstoppable Chuna Ram Havildar Chuna Ram Major Hari Chand Blood in the Snow Sepoy Amar Singh Hero in Civies civilian labourer, Ismail Mohammad Rifleman Dhonkal Singh Master Strategist Lt.Colonel Khanna Main CategoriesParam Vir ChakraAshoka Chakra Maha Vir Chakra Kirti Chakra Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha Padak Ati Vishisht Seva Medal Vir Chakra Shaurya Chakra President's Police and Fire Services Medal for Gallantry Sena Medal |
