Silver lining in Glasgow: Panipat erupts in joy for Neeraj

Neeraj Chopra won silver in men's javelin throw at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a season-best 85.83m throw.

Sri Lanka's Rumesh Pathiraje won gold with 89.75m, while India's Yashvir Singh took bronze with 85.41m.

Chopra's uncle Bheem Chopra cited strong wind and a recent injury as factors for missing gold.

Chopra's village Khandra in Panipat celebrated with fireworks and sweets after his silver medal.

Chopra praised fellow Indian finalists Yashvir Singh, Rohit, and Sachin, saying Indian javelin is progressing.
