A crowd of 18,000 Army aspirants from various states camped in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, for Territorial Army recruitment, competing for 133 posts. Allegations of inadequate facilities were denied by officials. Police resorted to lathi-charge to manage the influx, caused by a postponed Uttar Pradesh rally.
