Asiad gold medallist Ritu's name dropped from Himachal's award list, sparks row

A controversy has erupted after the name of Ritu Negi, a member of the Indian kabaddi team that recently won Asian Games gold, was dropped from the list of recipients of the ₹1 crore cash award announced by the Congress-led Himachal government. Ritu hails from Himachal's Sirmaur but is married in Haryana's Panipat. She described the government's move as insulting.
