Jun 19, 2022

New Delhi, June 19 (ANI): Amid the rising demands for the scrapping of the newly launched ‘Agnipath’ recruitment Scheme for the military, a senior Army officer on June 19 clarified that the programme will not be rolled back and said that it is the only progressive step to make the country young. Addressing a joint Press Conference with the officers from the Indian Navy and Air Force, Lt General Anil Puri, Additional Secy, Dept of Military Affairs, MoD, said that a number of casualties are reported just for health purposes from high-altitude areas.“Coming to the rollback of the scheme, No. Why should it be rolled back? It is the only progressive step to making the country young. Why is it being made young? We are tinkering with 'Desk ki Raksha (national security). There is no space. I will give you an example. Do you know how many casualties are reported just for health purposes from high-altitude areas? Do read about it, then you would come to know why young is important,” the officer said.
