Chaos at IAF recruitment drive


The ‘would be’ cadets of Air Force today faced the wrath of the Punjab Police when they turned up at Khalsa College ground to take part in a recruitment rally. Officials of Sainik Welfare wing said the police had to resort to mild lathicharge to man the aspirants who had come from various pockets of the state to submit applications for posts under various categories of the Air Force.

The management of the college, too, did not like this chaotic situation in their campus.

Over 2,000 youths, who gathered at the Khalsa College ground to submit applications, began to complain about lack of basic amenities during the recruitment drive. “We were made to stand in the queues since the wee hours and there were no basic arrangements, like drinking water or adequate toilets within the campus,” they said.

A candidate from Gurdaspur alleged that in the absence of adequate counters, they faced difficulty in appearing for the physical test or depositing their application forms. “We are in thousands, they should at least have more outlets to attend us. This is utter mismanagement,” he said.
