Around a thousand young aspirants on Tuesday gathered at Jantar Mantar to protest against the delay in the army recruitment process. They claim that there has been no recruitment in the Indian Army, Indian Airforce and Indian Naval Academy for the non-officer posts for the last two years which has severely affected their career. Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on March 21 informed Rajya Sabha that the recruitment process in the Army has been suspended for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
