The ace sprinter later arrived at the Bhupen Hazarika Samadhi Kshetra where she offered tributes to Bhupen Hazarika after covering the distance in a big rally.

The rally accompanying Hima then took the route to the Sarusajai Stadium where she was welcomed by her fellow athletes, sportspersons and coaches.

The Assam Government will felicitate Hima Das at a special function in Sankardev Kalakshetra this evening.

India’s latest sprint sensation was at the centre stage in the 2018 Asian Games bagging three medals with one gold and two silvers to prove that it’s a new dawn for the country in Athletics.

It is to be mentioned that recently the state government had announced a reward of Rs 1.60 crore for Hima Das.
