Ananya Lohia , New Delhi - A wave of celebration has swept through Aligarh's Sirsa village after Naib Subedar Gulveer Singh won a historic silver medal in the men's 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, becoming the first Indian to medal in the event.
Born into a farmer's family in Sirsa village, Gulveer joined the Indian Army in 2018 and turned his childhood passion for running into international success. His mother recalled how he trained by running through crop fields, while his wife and family expressed pride over his historic achievement.
Gulveer clocked 27:49.78 on a rain-soaked track, finishing just behind Australia's gold medallist after a strong final lap. His village erupted in celebrations, with family members planning a grand welcome and locals hoping his success will bring recognition and development to the area.
Gulveer Singh's historic silver has not only earned India a landmark medal but has also turned his small village in Aligarh into a place of pride and celebration.
