"Congratulations Mary Kom for clinching the gold at the ASBC Asian Confederation Women's Boxing Championships. India is elated at your accomplishment. @MangteC," the Prime Minister tweeted.
Up against North Korea's Kim Hyang Mi, the five-time world champion and Olympic bronze-medallist Mary Kom prevailed in a unanimous 5-0 verdict to claim the gold medal.
This was Mary Kom's first international gold medal since the 2014 Asian Games and her first medal in over a year.
India signed off with a gold, a silver and five bronze medals at the continental showpiece today.
