Citation:

On 5 December 1961, a company 311 GR commanded by Major Gobind Singh Sharma was ordered to clear an enemy road block at a vital communication centre in the Congo. The enemy was occupying well dug-in positions and was supported by heavy medium machine guns and mortars. The troops under Major Sharma launched an attack despite heavy machine gun and mortar fire and closed in with the enemy. Major Sharma personally led the bayonet charge and established his company at the roadblock. The enemy staged two counter attacks but these were repelled. 

Major Sharma displayed leadership and gallantry of a high order against heavy odds.
