August 11, 2022: It was a crowded, warm and extremely joyous welcome that Nayanmoni Saikia received at the Borjhar airport in Guwahati on Thursday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the Assam Forest Department has decided to promote her to the post of DSP. She is currently employed in the Assam Forest Department as a Constable.



Nayanmoni was born into a middle-class family in Golaghat, Assam. She was always passionate about sports and she started her career in sports through weightlifting. However, due to leg injury and deteriorating performance she chose Lawn Bowls because this sport was a game without injuries.
