60 years on, 1965 war heroism lives on: Family gifts Capt C N Singh's Maha Vir Chakra to Garhwal Rifles

Chandigarh: A moment of immense honour unfolded in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, on Tuesday, when Sukhdev Singh — brother of the valiant late Capt Chander Narayan Singh — presented the Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) and other medals of his decorated war hero brother to the Garhwal Rifles regiment. Capt Chander Narayan Singh, popularly called Capt C N Singh, is remembered as one of Himachal Pradesh's 13 recipients of the Maha Vir Chakra—the nation's second-highest military gallantry award for bravery in the face of enemy. On behalf of the Garhwal Rifles, the MVC was received by Lt Gen D S Rana, colonel of the Garhwal Rifles and Garhwal Scouts and the commander-in-chief of the Andaman and Nicobar Command. The ceremony was also attended by Lt Gen Rajan Sharawat, GOC, 9 Corps; Brig Vinod Singh Negi, commandant, Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre; Col Vishal Kumar Singh, commanding officer of 2 Garhwal Rifles, several veterans, and serving officers and troops of the Garhwal Rifles. In his address, Lt Gen Rana expressed gratitude to the family of Capt C N Singh for presenting the medals and alluded that the war hero was a true embodiment of courage, leadership, and bravery. "His legend will continue to inspire generations of Indian youth and future soldiers. The medals will be displayed at the Garhwal Rifles Regimental Centre Museum, Lansdowne, Uttarakhand. This will serve as a source of inspiration and will keep the legacy of Capt CN Singh alive in the heart of the Indian Army and the Nation for posterity," he added. On Aug 5, 1965, during the Indo-Pak war, Capt C N Singh, a young officer of 2 Garhwal Rifles, made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty while fighting Pakistani infiltrators. For his exceptional courage, bravery, and devotion to the nation, he was conferred with the Maha Vir Chakra. The handing over of the MVC by the family to the regiment was organised by the army on Tuesday to mark the 60th death anniversary of the gallant soldier.
