Amid the ongoing protest against the recently launched "Agnipath" Army recruitment scheme, the Central Government made an announcement urging the protestors to stop the outrage, across India. Notably, on June 18, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced a 10% reservation for "Agniveers" after the 4-years retirement. Under the new proposal, the retired Agniveers can get jobs in the Union Defence Ministry, based on their requisite eligible criteria.
