The Indian National Congress has urged the government to regularise the service benefits of Agniveers who are nearing retirement.
The Indian National Congress has formally demanded that the government regularise the services of Agniveers as they approach the end of their four‑year tenure. The party argues that the short‑term recruitment under the Agnipath scheme leaves many soldiers without long‑term security and benefits. Congress officials say that regularisation would provide a safety net for those who have served the nation under the scheme. The demand comes amid ongoing discussions about the future of the Agnipath program and its impact on the armed forces. No official response from the government has been recorded at the time of reporting.
