Two Bokaro girls not only brought laurels for the city but made the State proud by clinching medals in the 35 National Games. Priti Kumari and Praveen Akhater won Silver and Bronze medals respectively in Taekwondo competition in the National Games which concluded on 14 February 2015 at Kerala.
Bokaro MlA Biranchi Narayan felicitated the players on Thursday. Priti is a resident of Chira Chas while Praveen is residing at Barmo with their parents. Hailing from a very poor family, Priti had also won Bronze medal in last National Games in Taekwondo competition and made Jharkhand proud.
Reeling under acute financial crunch, she was unable to participate in the Games earlier and has to rush to the MlA seeking assistance. Immediately, Biranachi Narayan offered her a cash help of Rs10,000 and boasted her moral for participate in the game.
