Credible sources in the Jammu and Kashmir Sports Council told UNI, “Under the 2022 Sports Policy, the medal winners (national and international) will be presented with the cash award at a ceremony scheduled to be held very soon.”

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, who is also president of the J&K Sports Council, will present the awards at the ceremony.
