In the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has announced a 10% reservation for agniveers, news agency PTI reported. On Sunday's 16th edition of "Awaam Ki Awaaz," Sinha stated his choice was influenced by an idea put up by Sankarshan Sharma and Akarshit Sharma, two young people from Jammu.

Sinha gave orders to top police officials, district administrators, and representatives of Mission Youth to ensure that all young people participating in training programmes for the four-year Agniveer military recruiting plan had access to the resources they need.
