Citation:

On 27 June 1948, Major Kaptan Singh Rana led the attack on Pirkanthi. By excellent control and coordinated movement he achieved complete surprise. His leading platoon reached within 70 to 80 yards of a very strongly held position. Although the enemy inflicted 80 per cent casualties on the leading platoon, this officer, under very heavy enemy fire and without regard for personal safety, rushed forward with what was left of the company and captured the position.

This officer displayed devotion to duty of the highest order. His gallantry, courage, initiative and personal example were sources of inspiration to his men.
