GUWAHATI: Lovlina Borgohain, who won the gold medal in the IBA Women's Boxing World Championships, arrived at the Assam Police headquarters in Guwahati on Friday.

"We appointed her in accordance with the state government's sports policy. Lovlina Borgohain has brought laurels to the state since the day she won the medal. I am feeling proud by appointing her as DSP. She will try everything to make the future of the state bright”, the CM said.

Lovlina Borgohain, who won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, added another achievement to her resume on March 26 when she won her first gold medal at the World Championships. In the 75-kg final of the IBA Women's World Boxing Championship, Lovlina Borgohain triumphed over two-time Commonwealth Games medalist Caitlin Parker of Australia with a split 5-2 decision. 

The world boxing championship gold medalist Lovlina Borgohain was honoured by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma yesterday in Guwahati. After winning the gold medal in the IBA Women's World Boxing Championships, Borgohain returned to Assam, where she was greeted at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport with flowers and gamosas.
