And it is not Kitenlo K. Thono who has shone in the Pencak Silat matches from Nagaland this time in the National Games. 

Earlier today, Nagaland's Liike Kibami won a silver medal in the Tanding category in Pencak Silat. Yesterday, the Nagaland women's Pencak Silat team won the Bronze Medal in the Women's Regular category.
