Though no official reason for the cancellation has been given by the Railways, it has been the target of violent protests by youths against the Agnipath scheme, a short-term recruitment plan to incorporate youth into the defence forces.
The agitators have attacked railway stations in several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Telangana, exacerbating damage to public property and disrupting train services.
The three forces, the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force, the Indian Navy, and also the central government, have stated that they will not reverse the scheme that limits the tenure of recruits and benefits such as pensions.
The Indian Air Force said on Sunday that it had received 56,960 applications under the Agnipath recruitment scheme as of Sunday, just three days after the registration process began on Friday.
From June 24, 2022, the Indian Air Force (IAF) began the registration process for recruitment through the Agnipath scheme 2022.
Eligible candidates who want to work in the Indian Air Force under this scheme can apply online by visiting their official website at careerindianairforce.cdac.in.
It is important to note that meeting the eligibility criteria is essential in order to qualify as an Agniveer.
