Air India give measly cash awards to WC-winning coach, Armaan

A struggling Air India, on Thursday, announced cash awards of meagre Rs 25,000 and Rs 10,000 for two of its employees — coach Harendra Singh and striker Armaan Qureshi — who were part of the historic Indian hockey team that won the Junior World Cup last week after a gap of 15 years. Harendra, who is working as a senior manager in Air India, was the head coach of the Indian colts who defeated Belgium 2-1 in the final to lift the Junior Hockey World Cup in Lucknow last Sunday. 

Armaan is a contractual employee and plays for Air India in the domestic circuit. Announcing the cash awards, Air India Chairman and Managing Director, Ashwani Lohani said if the national carrier was in a good position financially, he would have rewarded the duo more for their accomplishments. Air India also felicitated all-rounder Jayant Yadav, who impressed in his debut Test series against England recently.
