Cabinet Decision to Boost Sports in Assam

To enhance the popularity of sports in Assam, the state's Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has decided to waive the settlement premium for land designated for the Lovlina Boxing Academy. This decision is part of a broader 76-point resolution that expresses the state government's appreciation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of dedicated public service, first as Gujarat's Chief Minister and later as India's Prime Minister.

Details of the Land Premium Waiver

The waiver acknowledges the significant contributions of Lovlina, an Olympic medalist and prominent boxer, to Indian sports.
