The announcement was made in a video call to Sharma, the midfielder in the Indian men's hockey team. During the call, N Biren Singh urged Nilakanta Sharma, what he expected from the government.
The Olympics medalist replied, "I need to get a job in Manipur. A job linked to games is all I needed."
On this, N Biren Singh assured him, stating, "Like I said Mirabai (Chanu) the last time, I won't keep you as a ticket collector. Further, the state government will grant you a proper job. So be ready."

"However, in today's competition, all of them performed soulfully, providing their all-out attempts, considering it's their ultimate mach in the Olympics. With their labour, they have now achieved a reward that has brought a lot of joy. All the stress, anxiety and panic have died now," Nilakanta Sharma's father continued.
On Thursday, India completed their 41-year drought for a hockey medal at the Tokyo Olympics. They beat four-time champions Germany 5-4 in a bronze medal match.
