Citation:

Lance Havildar Deb Singh Bhandari was commanding a leading section of a company of a battalion, which was ordered to clear an area in Rajasthan where the enemy had intruded after the cease-fire. The assault on the enemy position was held up by a well-sited enemy LMG, which was inflicting a number of casualties. Disregarding heavy automatic and small arms fire, Lance Havildar Bhandari crawled to the enemy LMG, threw a hand grenade and killed the enemy soldier manning it. In the process he was shot in the head and killed.

Lance Havildar Bhandari displayed commendable courage, determination and devotion to duty of a high order.
