Mirabai Chanu arrives in delhi following a successful Olympic campaign. On the opening day of the Olympics, the 27-year-old became the first indian athlete to earn a medal. She is only the second woman to win a weightlifting medal in more than two decades. Chanu won silver in the women's 49 kg weightlifting division.

Mirabai Chanu became the first indian athlete to win a medal on the first day of the Olympics, and she is just the second indian weightlifter to earn a medal in almost two decades, following Karnam Malleswari. In the capital, she was greeted with cries of "Bharat Mata ki Jai" and other patriotic songs.

Security guards took the Manipur athlete out of the airport, as airport officials cheered her on. Despite the fact that Mirabai was wearing her india training shirt, she did not have the silver medal around her neck.

The Manipur government plans to appoint Olympic silver medalist Mirabai Chanu as Additional Superintendent of police (Sports), according to chief minister N Biren Singh. She will be paid Rs 1 crore, as previously reported, and will also be given the job, according to Singh. He also stated that judoka Likmabam Sushila Devi will be promoted from constable to sub-inspector, as well as receiving a prize of Rs 25 lakh for her Olympic participation.
