Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district on Sunday felicitated the family of armless archer Sheetal Devi – the first Indian woman to win two gold medals in a single edition of the Asian Para Games, officials said.
Sheetal clinched the women's individual compound gold on October 27 to add to the yellow metal she won in the compound mixed team event the previous day. It was a hat-trick of medals for the 16-year-old who holds her bow with her foot. She had also won a silver in the women's doubles compound event.
Celebrating Sheetal Devi's remarkable talent and determination, the Kishtwar district administration led by Deputy Commissioner Devansh Yadav visited Sheetal's family and extended a warm and heartfelt felicitation, the officials added.
