Citation:

Rifleman Udae Bahadur Khatri was with a company of 9th Gorkha Rifles. On the night of 14 December 1971, his company was ordered to reinforce another company, which had earlier captured an area in the Shakargarh Sector and had suffered casualties in repulsing two fierce counter-attacks. While his company was moving to the objective, it came under intense and accurate medium machine gun fire from an enemy bunker located nearby on a flank. Rifleman Khatri, with complete disregard for his safety, charged the machine gun post and lobbed a grenade into the post. This, however, failed to silence the gun. Rifleman Khatri then crawled to the post and threw a grenade inside the bunker through the loophole and silenced the gun.

In this action, Rifleman Khatri displayed gallantry, determination and devotion to duty of a high order.
