Agriculture Minister Chander Kumar and State Planning Board Vice-Chairman Bhawani Pathania today said that the Agniveer scheme was a fraud committed on the youth. “An Agniveer is discriminated against a regular Army soldier. Now, the youth are not excited to join the Army,” they claimed.
They alleged that the youth were no longer feeling secure about their future in the Army. “After recruitment, an Agniveer is discriminated against and not allowed to mix up with regular soldiers. Also, there are separate barracks for them,” they said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now
in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is
run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any
bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and
partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense
of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
