Amid Agniveer review, Army rolls out phase-II of recruitment process
Tuesday, 25 June 2024 The armed forces recruitment programme undergoes enhancements to attract quality candidates, with ministries working towards this goal. The Agnipath recruitment scheme, launched in June 2022, aims to rejuvenate the armed forces by enlisting young individuals aged 17-and-a-half to 21 years for a four-year term, with the option to retain 25% of them for an additional 15 years. The recruitment process includes an initial online written exam followed by a recruitment rally. The panel of secretaries is expected to give a final presentation to PM Narendra Modi.
A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death. The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".

In response to A. Bimol Akoijam's speech in Parliament, Major Digvijay Singh Rawat raises serious concerns over the role of central security forces in Manipur.

Lebanon’s political stalemate has ended with the election of Army Chief Joseph Aoun as president, after 13 failed attempts and over a year without a leader. Aoun’s election comes during a delicate ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, following devastating clashes that left Lebanon reeling. Backed by international powers like the US and Saudi Arabia, Aoun’s presidency is seen as a potential turning point for the country’s fractured politics and strained international relations.Hezbollah’s role in the election has raised questions about its future influence, especially as the group has been weakened by the recent conflict with Israel. Aoun, viewed as a reformist leader, faces monumental challenges, including rebuilding Lebanon’s shattered economy, navigating the fragile peace with Israel, and maintaining national unity amid deep political divisions.
