During "Operation Meghdoot", 27 Rajput Regiment was tasked to capture a strategic post "Point 5770 Top" occupied by the enemy and overlooking our own defences in the southern Glacier sub-sector. Captain Shyamlal Sinha was attached with 27 Rajput and his team volunteered for opening a route to the Top. The enemy opened devastating artillery and small arms fire at own troops. With total disregard to personnel safety. Captain Shyamlal Sinha assaulted the enemy position firing from the hip and lobbing grenades and cleared the position. 

Totally surprised by the bold and daredevil nature of the assault team, the enemy ran helter skelter towards South Western direction. While running, ten enemy personnel rolled down the steep ledge into a deep nullah towards West. However, four enemy personnel form the leading two sangars engaged the assault team with automatic weapons. With utter disregard to personal safety, Captain Shyamlal Sinha charged towards the sangars and in the ensuing hand-to-hand fight, silenced the enemy resistance with professional acumen and using he Universal machine gun that was captured from the enemy. A large quantity of arms and ammunition were also capture.

Captain Shyamal Sinha displayed professional acumen and conspicuous courage in the face of enemy, in the Southern Glacier sub sector.
