Will the structure of the army deteriorate due to the Agneepath scheme? On this question of the media, former Army Chief and Union Minister General VK Singh said that any new thing that comes is not known about it until it comes on the ground. I'm not part of the team that made this plan, I don't know much about it. The plan has just been announced, let's see what happens on time and what doesn't.
