Citation:

On 12 December 1971, Major Jai Bahagwan Singh Yadava, commanding a company of 11 Gorkha Rifles, was ordered to establish a roadblock behind the enemy defences. The company after crossing the Ichamati River reached the location of the roadblock. During the reconnaissance, an enemy telephone line was located and it gave the, location of the enemy battalion headquarters and captured the battalion commander and other officers. The enemy blocked all the routes of escape to isolate this

company in a bid to rescue their commanding officer. Major Yadava held on. The stiff resistance by his company had created a wedge in the enemy defences permitting our armour to break through. The enemy completely confused and unnerved and suffering heavily in men and material surrendered to our forces in large numbers.

In this action, Major Yadava displayed initiative, gallantry, determination and leadership of a high order.
