New Delhi, the 22nd January, 2015

No. 2-Pres/2015.—The President is pleased to approve the award of the “Ashoka Chakra”

(Effective date of the award : 24 August, 2014)

On 24 August, 2014, during a search operation in General area Gurdaji of Kupwara district of

Jammu & Kashmir, movement of few terrorists close to a Dhok was noticed, who opened

indiscriminate fire on own troops. In the ensuing fire fight, buddy of Naik Neeraj was hit on bullet

proof jacket. With utter disregard to his personal safety, Naik Neeraj crawled and extricated his

buddy. A terrorist threw grenades and brought heavy fire on Naik Neeraj. In a daring act, he inched

closer to the terrorist and shot him dead. Simultaneously, the NCO was attacked by another terrorist

resulting in dropping of his Rifle and the terrorist shot him in the chest. Despite grievous injuries,

displaying unparallel courage, he pounced on the terrorist, snatched his weapon and killed him in

hand to hand combat. He refused to be evacuated till he became unconscious and was later evacuated

but he succumbed to his injuries.

Naik Neeraj Kumar Singh displayed raw courage and most conspicuous gallantry in

personally eliminating two terrorists and sacrificing his own life in the highest traditions of the

Indian Army.
