Zorawar Singh Jamwal, Chairman of Team Jammu, a prominent social organization, met Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today and submitted a detailed memorandum seeking exclusive recruitment drives for youth residing in the border and remote villages of Jammu and Kashmir.
Jamwal emphasized the pressing need for targeted opportunities for youth living along the Line of Control (LoC) to join the Indian Army, paramilitary forces, and the J&K Police. He said that empowering border youth through such initiatives would not only address rising unemployment but also bolster India’s defensive capabilities in strategically sensitive regions.
“Border youth are deeply patriotic and committed to the nation. Giving them a chance to serve in uniform is both a recognition of their resilience and an investment in our national security,” Jamwal said.
In his memorandum, Jamwal also highlighted the recurrent threats faced by civilians living in vulnerable areas and reiterated Team Jammu’s longstanding demand for the construction of permanent concrete bunkers to safeguard lives during cross-border firing and escalation.
“These shelters are essential not only for physical protection but also to ensure that families can continue living in their ancestral homes with safety and dignity,” he added.
