He was recruited into the 13th battalion of the [[Kumaon Regiment]], a regiment known for its gallant soldiers and various battle exploits.

== Operation in Kupwara ==

On 26 September 1994, Singh was the search party commander of an operation to eliminate terrorists from the jungles near the Zalurah village of Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir. The team identified the militant hideouts but faced heavy gunfire from them, within a distance of 15 metres from the hideout. Sensing that he needed to provide cover for his team, Singh physically charged towards the hideout. He sustained several gunshot wounds but still continued to move forward until bullets pierced his helmet and killed him instantly. Singh's act ensured that all the terrorists were killed, their arms and ammunitions recovered, and his team saved.[2] His great bravery is every year celebrated in the home town by his family members and "jalura surya samiti".On 26 September every year.
