Ex-Gorkha veterans in Nepal push for Indian Army recruitment
Retired Gorkha soldiers are holding protests in Nepal, calling for the Indian Army to restart recruiting Nepali youth through the Agnipath program. They argue that a career in the Indian military is far superior to taking low-paying jobs in Gulf countries. Nepal halted the recruitment process in 2022, stating that the new scheme does not align with the 1947 Tripartite Agreement established between India, Nepal, and Britain.
