Jammu Jammu and Kashmir witnessed an overwhelming response against an army recruitment drive in which over 50,000 youths have applied against a vacancy of 5,000.

"Over 50,000 youths have applied for the recruitment rally in Samba district. We will recruit only 5,000 out of them," Deputy Director General (DDG) recruitments, Punjab-J&K, Brig K D Malhotra said as he threw open the recruitment rally in Samba on Thursday.

In this regard, we have distributed 10,000 tokens to the aspiring candidates, he said, adding we will take all the youths found eligible to fill up the quota of 5,000.

"Special priority would be given to candidates from militancy prone areas of Jammu region," Brig Malhotra said.

A similar rally will be held in Baramulla district of the state next month, he said.

The present rally is being conducted from January 22 to January 31.

Brain washed indians by Raj Thackrey on 07 Feb 2010

Most people like the one commenting below, are brain washed since childhood to be patriotic by listening too many patriotic songs on republic and independence days. Indian army is a big mafia, which works by creating hysteria among ignorant indian people against china or pakistan or bangladesh, else their very existance is in jeopardy. The army can show its might only in front of weak and small nations like pak or bangladesh in front of chinese army they are like barking dogs with tail below. I hope the indians will wake up sooner than later from their sleep.
