Kolkata, Oct 13 (PTI) The West Bengal Government would felicitate the 10 Commonwealth Games medallists from the state and award them with Rs 5 lakh for Gold, Rs 3 lakh for Silver and Rs 2 lakh for Bronze, Sports Minister Kanti Ganguly said here today. "However, the date for the felicitation is yet to be finalised. Anyway, it will be arranged before November 14", Ganguly said. Para-swimmer Prasanta Karmakar, who won a bronze medal in the 50 m freestyle in the CWG, would also be felicitated. Karmakar, whose right hand is amputated below the wrist following a mishap, had shifted base from Bengal to Haryana after he was allegedly ignored and ill-treated by his home state.
