Operation: 1987 Pawan Sri Lanka
Date of Award: 19 Oct 1987

Citation:

Within hours of assuming command of an Infantry Brigade in Sri Lanka as part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force, Brigadier Manjit Singh was tasked to establish a link-up with Jaffna Fort, along Western Pincer in the face of all-out efforts by the militants to thwart their advance. Brigadier Manjit Singh himself assumed charge of the leading elements. With just two companies of Rajput Rifles, he broke through the desperate cordon of the militants, and successfully established a link-up with pare commandos operating from Jaffna Fort. His leadership and demonstration of personal valour in the face of grave danger so motivated his command, that the whole Brigade was suddenly filled with elan and moved purposefully forward.

Throughout the operation, Brigadier Manjit Singh displayed conspicuous courage and valiant leadership.
