Sqn Ldr | Dalip Wikram Chauhan | 4031 GD(P) | Award Date | Announced 26 Jan 1964 |
Details : | Squadron Leader Dalip Wikram Chauhan has been engaged in air-transport operations in J & K area since 13th May 1961. During the Chinese aggression on our northern borders, he displayed great courage and devotion to duty in carrying out reconnaissance missions of areas held by the enemy. Squadron leader Chauhan was also assigned the task of airlifting AMX tanks to Chushul. The first 400 yards of the runway at Chushul had been rendered unserviceable and he would have been well justified in returning to the base. Realizing the importance of his mission, he took a calculated risk and decided to land his aircraft thus setting a fine example to other aircrews. Throughout, Squadron Leader Chauhan has displayed courage, determination and professional, skill of a high order. | |||
