“We moved the proposal [before the Home Ministry] to make her the brand ambassador only after we got her concurrence. The formal announcement will be done soon,” said Mr. Prasad.
Sindhu would also be bestowed with the honorary rank of a commandant, which is equivalent to a Superintendent of Police, he said.
