Bangalore, Aug 11: Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced a cash reward of Rs 2 lakh each to the junior women hockey team.
Indian junior hockey team girls created history by winning country's first ever bronze medal in the junior women hockey World Cup as they pipped England 3-2 penalties on August 4.
Chouhan in his tweet said "Our women junior hockey team has brought laurels for our country. MP (Madhya Pradesh) will award 2 lakh to each member of the team."
