According to a report by Asomiya Pratidin, the government of Mizoram has announced a cash reward of 25 lakh rupees each for two prominent hockey players, Lalremsiami and Lalthantluangi. The announcement follows the Indian women's hockey team's historic gold medal victory at the Asian Games held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, where they defeated China 1-0 in the final.

The state government's decision serves as a formal recognition of the contributions made by the two athletes to the team's success. Both players, who began their sporting journeys in Mizoram, have been lauded for their dedication and performance on the international stage. Their early training included stints at the Thenzawl Hockey Academy, which has been instrumental in developing local talent.

This financial incentive is part of a broader effort by the Mizoram state government to encourage and support athletes from the region who represent India in global competitions. The recognition highlights the growing influence of North East Indian athletes in national sports programs and their continued impact on international podium finishes.
