Lovlina Borgohain said she is feeling proud after being appointed as DSP and she will concentrate on sports as well.
“It will be my duty to win more medals for Assam and the country. I will focus on my training. As long as I play boxing, I will not have to do policing duty. I will join in policing duties after retirement from boxing. From now, a new responsibility has come into my life. I will try to find more talented players. I am very much thankful to the Assam government for giving me this job,” Lovlina Borgohain said.
