Brigadier Hoshiar Singh OBE, Croix de Guerre,[citation needed] IOM, VSM was the commander of the Indian 62 Brigade stationed at Sela Pass.

The Bahadurgarh City Park metro station has been renamed in his honour to Brigadier Hoshiyar Singh metro station, as announced by Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, in Sept 2018.

Much later, Indian army officers returned to Phudung and cremated the courageous soldier with his eldest son performing the last rites.
