On 28 June 1999 during "Operation Vijay", Rifleman Jai Ram Singh was part of the assault platoon ordered to capture area Lone Hill in the Drass Sector. He enthusiastically and voluntarily led the attack along with his company commander. The enemy machine gun fire sweeping the approach hit him and he sustained multiple bullet injuries in the thigh. His company commander asked him to get back and seek medical attention to which he replied, "My leg is not broken. I can walk so I will come with you".

Saying so, he quickly took out the field dressing and applied it on himself and continued with the attack, though profusely bleeding. Unmindful of his personal safety and injuries he along with his company commander assaulted the enemy sangar atop Lone Hill and cleared it. When the company commander's radio set was damaged, he displayed courage and commitment to the mission far beyond the call of duly and fetched the spare radio set and reinforcements to his besieged company commander thus re-establishing communication and saving the situation. Rifleman Jai Ram Singh displayed courage and devotion to duty in the face of the enemy.
