She decided to raise the issue immediately. Addressing those present through a microphone, Lovlina said:

"Please don't feel bad. I'm a little upset that our Northeast isn't on the Indian map. It's the same outside, our Northeast has been cut out. Please be careful about this in the future."

Her comments were delivered calmly without anger or confrontation. Videos of the moment quickly spread across social media, with many users praising the boxer for raising the issue respectfully.

Boxer Earns Praise For Measured Response

Rather than creating a scene, Lovlina explained why the issue mattered to her while maintaining a composed tone. Her approach received appreciation online, where several users described it as firm but respectful.

The incident came after another memorable day for Indian boxing at the Commonwealth Games. While Lovlina settled for silver, India collected seven boxing gold medals on Saturday alone, underlining the country's dominance in the sport during the competition.

India Ends Day Among Top Nations

By the end of Saturday's events, India had collected 39 medals, including 13 gold, to remain fourth in the Commonwealth Games medal standings.

Scotland also had 13 gold medals, but India's higher overall medal count kept it ahead in the standings, as total medals become the deciding factor when gold medals are equal.

The Commonwealth Games conclude on Sunday, with the closing ceremony scheduled later in the evening. Ahmedabad, which will host the next edition of the Games, is expected to receive the official handover during the ceremony.
