The enemy assaulted the roadblock in strength on 10 December 1971. The attack was supported by intense artillery, mortar and small arms fire. Major Nambiar in complete disregard for his safety, moved from trench to trench to encourage his men. The assault was beaten back when the enemy was barely 40 yards from the forward defended localities. Similar assaults by the enemy on 11 December were also repulsed. Throughout, Major Nambiar displayed gallantry, determination and leadership of a high order. </div> <br/><br/> <a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/node/2908">Click here</a> for Awardee's details </div>   <div style="clear:both;"></div>  </p> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="midrbox"> <div class="midrboxin"> <div class="lboxtop"> <h1>Meetings</h1> </div> <div class="lboxmid"> <div class="inlisttxt"> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/node/4825">Annual EC Meeting 9-10 Dec 2013</a> - 09 Dec 2013 11:00 - Panchkula</li> <li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/node/3105">Executive Committee Meeting</a> - 05 Nov 2011 11:00 - Chandigarh</li> </ul> <div style="text-align:right;padding:5px;"> <a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/meetings" style="text-decoration:none;color:black;">...more</a> </div> </div> <div class="lboxbtm"> <img src="/web/20160303225209im_/http://twdi.in/sites/all/themes/twdi/images/boxbtm.gif" width="200" height="20"/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear;"></div> <div class="midrboxin"> <div class="lboxtop"> <h1>Stats</h1> </div> <div class="lboxmid"> <div class="inlisttxt"> <div> <div style="float:left;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Medals</span><br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=All&field_awards_medal_nid=360&field_awards_operation_nid=All">PVC</a> : 21<br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=All&field_awards_medal_nid=361&field_awards_operation_nid=All">MVC</a> : 219<br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=All&field_awards_medal_nid=359&field_awards_operation_nid=All">VrC</a> : 1317</div> <div style="float:left;margin-left:15px;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Branches</span><br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=air_force&field_awards_medal_nid=All&field_awards_operation_nid=All">Air Force</a> : 224<br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=army&field_awards_medal_nid=All&field_awards_operation_nid=All">Army</a> : 1249<br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=bsf&field_awards_medal_nid=All&field_awards_operation_nid=All">BSF</a> : 13<br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=civillian&field_awards_medal_nid=All&field_awards_operation_nid=All">Civillian</a> : 3<br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=crpf&field_awards_medal_nid=All&field_awards_operation_nid=All">CRPF</a> : 1<br/><a style="color:black;text-decoration:underline;" href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards?service=navy&field_awards_medal_nid=All&field_awards_operation_nid=All">Navy</a> : 67</div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div> </div> <div class="lboxbtm"> <img src="/web/20160303225209im_/http://twdi.in/sites/all/themes/twdi/images/boxbtm.gif" width="200" height="20"/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear;"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footermain" style="height:auto;"> <div class="footertop" style="height:auto;"> <div class="footmin" style="height:50px;"> <div class="ftinner">  <div id="ccontainer"> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awardees">Awardees</a> </li><li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/awards">Awards</a> </li><li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/conventions">Conventions</a> </li><li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/medals">Medals</a> </li><li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/services">Services</a> </li><li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/about-us">About Us</a> </li><li><a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/contact-us">Contact Us</a> </li> </ul> </div>   </div> </div> </div> <div class="footerbtm"> <div class="footminbtm"> <p>漏 All rights reserved. <a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a> | <a href="/web/20160303225209/http://twdi.in/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a> </p> <p>Powered by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160303225209/http://packwebhosting.com/" target="_blank">PackWebHosting.com</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
