Flight Lieutenant Lal Singh Grewal made a number of landings by day and night at Poonch while it was under enemy fire. He also dropped supplies of ammunition and rations in inclement weather to our garrisons in Kotli and Mirpur when these places were subjected to heavy enemy fire. He also captained aircraft during night bombing sorties.

On 21 March 1948, when Poonch was being shelled heavily by the enemy, he made two hazardous landings there, one by day and the other by night, without any landing aids to deliver urgently required heavy guns and ammunition to our troops. He also flew in regularly the much-needed supplies to Leh.

Throughout the Jammu and Kashmir operations, this officer carried out his duties with courage, determination and devotion.
