What better way to celebrate.

In the Tokyo Olympics a few Indians have got medals. The boxer Lovlina who comes from a remote village in Assam is one of the medal winners. The village is poorly developed. She used to cycle on a road that needed a make over badly.
The guys around are getting the road done up in readiness to welcome her. What better way than showing appreciation this way?

Wen she returns she will be in for a wonderful surprise and perhaps she would be riding in a car and not a bicycle

They earned their right to celebrate their gold medals since the road to success is harsh but worth it when the championship is won.

She got a bronze which is a great achievement considering where she comes from. That place is backward in all respects.

What a good idea. One that benefits her and the villagers. Every time they use the road they will think of her and all that she achieved in spite of the conditions she experienced,.
