Two Assam Police athletes stepped onto the podium at the 75th All India Police Wrestling Cluster 2026 in Madhuban, Haryana — and brought home gold on both occasions. Havildar Kandarpa Borah claimed the top prize in Wrestling, while Woman Havildar Junmoni Das secured gold in Arm Wrestling, a double triumph that drew swift praise from the state's top office on Sunday, 27 September 2026.

The Chief Minister's Office of Assam announced that Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma personally congratulated both champions, lauding their 'dedication and sporting excellence in bringing laurels to Assam.' The recognition from the highest executive office underscores how seriously the state treats its uniformed athletes — not just as law-enforcement officers, but as ambassadors of Assam on national stages.

Borah and Das: back-to-back golds for Assam Police

Hav Kandarpa Borah's gold in wrestling and W/Hav Junmoni Das's gold in arm wrestling arrived at the same edition of the meet, making the haul doubly significant for the force. Competing in a national gathering that draws police athletes from every state and Union Territory, winning even one gold is a mark of elite conditioning. Winning two, in disciplines that demand both raw strength and technical discipline, speaks to the quality of preparation within Assam Police's sports programme.

Why the All India Police Wrestling Cluster matters

The All India Police Wrestling Cluster is one of the flagship inter-state competitions that Indian police forces participate in annually, running alongside similar meets in athletics, shooting, and football. For state police departments, these events serve a dual purpose: building physical fitness across the force and creating a pipeline of competitive athletes drawn from uniformed ranks. Madhuban, Haryana — home to a well-regarded police training facility — is a recurring venue for such national competitions.

CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, who has been at the helm of Assam since May 2021, has consistently used public platforms to spotlight achievements by the state's security personnel, framing such wins as a reflection of institutional pride. This latest congratulatory gesture fits a pattern of the Chief Minister's Office projecting the force's non-operational excellence to a wider audience.

For Hav Borah and W/Hav Das, Sunday's recognition from the Chief Minister is more than ceremony — it places two athletes from the northeast squarely in the national spotlight. Assam's medal tally at future editions of the meet will be the real measure of whether this moment sparks a sustained surge in police sports investment.
