[Lt Col APS Rathore (Retd) @LtColAd]

This is absolutely unacceptable.A person who dedicated his life to serving the nation deserves dignity and respect not violence. No one has the right to assault a healthcare worker or security guard simply because a doctor is delayed.Such acts of aggression must not go unpunished

[Lt Col APS Rathore (Retd) @LtColAd]

The administration must take strict legal action against those responsible and ensure justice for the former soldier. Respect our heroes. Protect those who serve. Stand against violence!

[Lt Col APS Rathore (Retd) @LtColAd]

Eligible Agniveers opting for extension may serve two additional years after a clean break. Monthly compensation will increase to ₹43,500 in the first year and ₹47,500 in the second year.

#WATCH | Delhi: On ANI's question, Chief of Defence Staff General NS Raja Subramani says, "When the 'Agnipath' scheme was first introduced, we emphasized that it was not set in stone. We stated that we would evaluate the performance of the Agniveers and conduct continuous reviews. There were objective selection criteria, and a centralized database was maintained for all Agniveers across all three services to track their performance. Their performance was reviewed annually. Based on these evaluations—and considering the achievements I highlighted earlier—the Indian Defence Forces recommended to the government that 75 percent of the Agniveers be granted an additional engagement period—specifically, an extension of two years. This review did not just happen today; it has been an ongoing process. We have been discussing this for the past three to four months, and today the cabinter has approved our recommendations..."
