Punjab govt to felicitate wrestler Navjot Kaur

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh will felicitate Navjot Kaur, who scripted history by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to win gold in the Senior Asian Championship held in Kyrgyzstan.
The chief minister lauded the "daughter of the soil" for bringing laurels to Punjab and the nation.
Disclosing this here, a spokesperson of the Chief Ministers Office said the winner was given a warm welcome in her home village by the state government.
The district administration led by Additional Deputy Commissioner and Sub Divisional Magistrate was present to welcome Navjot in her native Bagria village and to congratulate her parents Sukhchain Singh and Gian Kaur along with coach Ashok Kumar, he said.

The Congress leader said the rare feat of the young Punjabi woman wrestler would go a long way in motivating her peers, especially the budding wrestlers, to prove their mettle in national and international tournaments.
He said Navjot's achievement would also bolster the confidence of young wrestlers to repeat the success story in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.
