Her son, Abhilash, qualified for the Agniveer Physical Screening Test… but he’s stuck in Abu Dhabi. Why? Because his employer is demanding ₹1.08 lakh just to cancel his visa. He went to the Gulf on a tourist visa, got an employment visa… and then got the email that changed everything: he made the cut for the Army. Now, his dreams are on hold; unless someone pays the fee. His mother, Sumalatha, says they can’t afford it. She’s reached out to CM Revanth Reddy’s office, pleading for help before the next test date passes. This isn’t just one family’s struggle. Across Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, other young Indians who got through the written test are also racing home; and hitting the same wall. Visa rules, contract clauses, and money they don’t have. The Agniveer program is supposed to open doors; but bureaucracy and employers are slamming them shut. What if the man who could become your soldier next year never gets back in time? That’s the real cost of a ₹1 lakh fee.
