On night of 3-4 July1999 , Gren Yogender Singh Yadav was part of the Ghatak Platoon tasked to capture Three Bunkers on Tiger Hil. Volunteering to lead the assault, Gren Yadav was scaling the vertical cliff face, when the enemy opened up with automatic fire. He continued to scale the cliff through a volley of fire. In spite of being hit by three bullets in his groin and shoulder, displaying super human strength and resolve, he reached the top. He then crawled up and lobbed a grenade into the first bunker, killing four enemy soldiers. Yet again, he charged the second bunker with his colleagues and in a fierce hand to hand combat, killed three Pakistani soldiers. For his sustained display of the most conspicuous personal bravery and gallantry of the highest order in the face of the enemy, Gren Yadav has been awarded the PARAM VIR CHAKRA
