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.

“The athletes from the years 2021–22 and 2022–23 will be given the cash award for their outstanding performances at national and international levels,” sources said.

The awards, sources said, are already approved by the Lieutenant Governor.
