Citation:

On 18 November 1962, after considerable bombardment by artillery and mortars, the Chinese launched an attack on our company post at Rezangala in Ladakh in overwhelming strength and in successive waves. The first few waves were beaten back but the company suffered many casualties. Major Shaitan Singh, company commander, was seriously wounded. Seeing that it was no longer possible to hold the position with a handful of men, he ordered the men to withdraw from the post. 

Naik Hukam Chand and a sepoy were carrying the wounded company commander when they came under heavy machine gun fire. Major Shaitan Singh ordered the men to leave him where he was in order to save their lives but Naik Hukam Chand gallantly remained with him and did not return.
