Citation:

Squadron Leader Manohar Madhav Takle was the navigator of a Canberra, which was on a strafing sortie against an enemy airfield and other installations in Katanga. The aircraft was hit at several places by enemy fire. One of the bullets wounded Squadron Leader Takle, causing him to bleed profusely. He continued to direct the aircraft into attack until the target was effectively destroyed. He did not inform the pilot of his condition until he set the course for home.

In doing so, Squadron Leader Takle displayed devotion to duty and gallantry of a high order.
