Territorial Army recruitment rally turns chaotic as 25,000 youths surge in Pithoragarh, police resort to lathi charge



Joshi elaborated on the circumstances that led to the initial disorder, noting, “After a heavy influx of youths arriving in Tanakpur for recruitment since the morning of November 18, the situation became somewhat unruly, but it is now fully managed.” He further explained, “Due to the railway station being 150 kilometers away, the youths faced significant inconvenience travelling by bus.” Additionally, Joshi confirmed that the recruitment process for youths from Uttar Pradesh was completed on Thursday. Sources indicated that “the lack of coordination between the Army and administrative officials was also a significant factor contributing to these circumstances.” According to sources close to the situation, the distress faced by young recruits at the Territorial Army recruitment rally in Pithoragarh has touched the hearts of many. Various organisations, including the Ex-Servicemen’s Organization, ‘Jaag Utha Pahad’, and the RSS, have come together to provide food for the youth at different locations. Several former soldiers have opened their homes, offering beds to those who were seeking shelter on shop verandas. Devaraj Singh from the Ex-Servicemen’s Organization arranged beds for 60 youths in Jajardeval. Sangeeta Sharma, the state spokesperson for the Aam Aadmi Party, has blamed the government for the chaotic situation surrounding the recruitment rally. She stated, “This is a failure of the government’s intelligence department, which failed to ascertain the number of youths arriving for recruitment.”
