"This is not just a job, serving the nation is my life's ambition": Youth breaks down after failing army recruitment test

The sight of a youth deemed ineligible in an army recruitment rally in Thrissur Mannuthy Veterinary College was saddening for those who saw it. The youth was judged ineligible due to his chest size in the physical test. He approached the recruitment officers in tears and pleaded to give him another chance. A Malayali officer was kind to check on his chest size again, but that didn’t change anything. The youth then fell to the feet of the officer who took his chest measurement and said that it is his life's ambition to join the army. He also cried out that his family wouldn’t allow him to leave for a job if he cannot manage to get this job. Later, the army officers expelled him out of the hall with much difficulty.
