Citation:

On 14 December 1971, Sepoy Ganga Singh was the light machine gunner with a company of the Kumaon Regiment, which was assigned the task of assaulting Maynamati Cantonment in the Eastern Sector. The company was pinned down due to heavy machine gun and artillery fire.

With complete disregard for his safety, Sepoy Ganga Singh crawled to the enemy machine gun bunker. Forcing his light machine gun through the loophole of the bunker, he opened fire killing the enemy inside. Moving from bunker to bunker, he cleared three of them. Thereafter he crawled forward and reached three of our casualties and despite heavy enemy machine gun fire and shelling evacuated them to safety.

In this action, Sepoy Ganga Singh displayed gallantry, determination and devotion to duty of a high order.
