Meanwhile, the Assam Government is expected to appoint Lovlina Borgohain as a DSP.
Lovlina Borgohain made India and Assam proud by winning a bronze medal at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
With a bronze medal, Lovlina became only the third Indian boxer after Vijender Singh and Mary Kom to win an Olympic medal.
23-year-old Lovlina Borgohain had already assured India of their first boxing medal at the ongoing Olympic Games when she upstaged former world champion – Nien-Chin Chen of Taiwan, to enter the semis.
