Will Request CM To Make Provision For Recruitment Of 'Agniveer' As Forest Guards: Bihar Minister

Senior BJP leader and Bihar minister Neeraj Kumar Singh on Wednesday said he will write to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, seeking reservation for 바카라�Agniveers바카라� as 바카라�forest guards바카라� in the state on their retirement, notwithstanding the JD(U)바카라�s opposition to the short-service appointment scheme for armed forces. Singh, the state바카라�s environment minister, said that states such as Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh have already announced supportive measures for the 바카라�Agniveers바카라� post-retirement from services, and suggested that the NDA government in Bihar should follow suit.

바카라�I will soon send a letter to the CM seeking reservation for Agniveers in the recruitment of 바카라�forest guards바카라� and 바카라�foresters바카라�. I have asked officials of the environment department to prepare a detailed note on this. Several state governments have already announced that Agniveers, after serving a limited period in armed forces, will be given preference in police forces and other departments,바카라� the minister told on Wednesday. Violent protests over the scheme had broken out in the state last month, with Army job aspirants blocking roads and setting fire to trains and buses seeking its immediate rollback.

The CM has maintained silence over the whole issue thus far, but his party바카라�s national chief Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan Singh had urged the Centre to reconsider the Agnipath scheme. 바카라�There should not be any confusion over this scheme. Our central leadership has already made it clear that this scheme is good for the youth of the country. Several states like Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Karnataka have already announced supportive measures for the Agniveers,바카라� he said.
