Award of Maha Vir ChakraMajor Vijay Rattan Choudhary commanding 405 Fd Company of 9 Engineer Regiment was in charge of minefield clearance of Chakra on the western front. The safe lanes had to be made with great speed to enable tanks and anti tank weapons to reach Chakra, which was in imminent danger of a counterattack by Pakistan armor. With utter disregard for his personal safety, Major Vijay Rattan Choudhary personally supervised the operation, inspiring and motivating his men to their optimum efficiency. Throughout the advance, from 5 December onwards, he displayed exemplary devotion to duty and was responsible for clearance of minefields of 1000-1500 yards depth at Thakurdwara, Lohara and Basantar river. While suprvising the minefield lane near Basantar river this gallant officer was killed due to enemy artillery fire.
