“I am glad that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir have turned up in such large numbers for this recruitment drive. This shows that the youth are keen to participate in the security of their country. We should keep encouraging this,” the IG added.

Jafar, a candidate said, “Unemployment is rampant in Jammu and Kashmir. People have come from several districts to write this exam. We worked hard for the physical round and have studied hard for the written test today as well.” He added that he would like the government to conduct more such recruitment drives to provide more young people with jobs and opportunities.

Visuals from the drive showed candidates wearing masks due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
