Guwahati (Assam) [India], October 9: The Assam Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has taken a significant step to enhance the popularity of sports in the region. On Friday, they approved the waiver of 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, marking 25 years of his dedicated public service, first as Gujarat's Chief Minister and later as India's Prime Minister.

In honor of Lovlina Borgohain, an Olympic medalist and a prominent figure in Indian boxing, the Cabinet decided to eliminate the settlement premium on the land previously allocated to her by the state.
