Subedar Joginder Singh was the commander of a platoon of a Sikh Regiment holding a defensive position at a ridge nead Tongpen La in NEFA. At 0530 hours on 23 October 1962, the Chinese opened a very heavy attack on the Bum La axis with the intention of breaking through to Towang. The leading battalion of the enemy attacked the ridge in three waves, each about 200 strong. Subedar Joginder Singh and his men mowed down the first wave, and the enemy was temporarily halted by the heavy losses it suffered. Within a few minutes, a second wave came over and was dealt with similarly. But the platoon had by then lost half its men. Subedar Joginder Singh was wounded in the thigh but refused to be evacuated. Under his inspiring leadership, the platoon stubbornly held its ground an would not withdraw.
Meanwhile, the position was attacked for the third time. Subedar Joginder Singh himself manned a light machine gun and shot down a number of the enemy. The Chinese, however, continued to advance despite heavy losses. When the situation became untenable, Subedar Joginder Singh and the few men emerged from their position with fixed bayonets and charged the advancing Chinese, bayoneting a number of them before he and his comrades were overpowered.
Throughout this action, Subedar Joginder Singh displayed devotion to duty, inspiring leadership and bravery of the highest order, and finally made the supreme sacrifice.
