The Indian Army on Saturday (7 December) recruited 404 freshly-trained youths from the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) at a passing-out-parade, reports Livemint.
The parade was the first such event in newly-enshrined UT of J&K since the nullification of the Article 370 by the Parliament on 5-6 August. The parade was held at the regimental centre of the J&K Light Infantry (JAKLI) at Rangreth.
The new recruits have been inducted into the force after completion of an extensive and exhaustive year-long training. Their induction and the parade was attended by General Officer Commanding (GoC) of the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, Lt Gen KJS Dhillon along with hundreds of parents and relatives of the recruits.
At the event, the Lt Gen Dhillon congratulated the newly-recruited jawans who are set to enter active service now, and also inspired them to dedicate selfless service to the nation.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
