Home ministry to facilitate career progression of former Agniveers
The Cabinet Secretariat has issued a gazetted notification, asking the Union Home Ministry to coordinate activities for further progression of ex-Agniveers after their term with the armed forces ends. 'The government had amended the Allocation of Business Rules, 1961, by inserting a new point in the second schedule under the Department of States of the Union Home Ministry coordinating activities for further progression of ex-Agniveers,' it said. In June 2022, the government rolled out the Agnipath recruitment scheme with an aim to bring down the age profile of the three services. Under the Agnipath scheme, candidates between the age bracket of 17-and-half years and 21 who are enrolled in Army, Air Force and Navy as Agniveers for a period of 4 years with a provision to retain 25 per cent of them for 15 more years. The government has already reserved 10 per cent of jobs for ex-Agniveers in all future appointments of constables in the 11-lakh-strong Central Armed Police Forces like CRPF, BSF, CISF, SSB etc. No physical test would be required for recruitment of the former Agniveers into the paramilitary forces as such tests have already been done by the Army. They will just need a physical fitness certificate, an official had said. Various central government agencies and departments have also announced plans to recruit former Agniveers.

Ex-MLB star Alex Guerrero puts $75M Miami mansion on market, includes 18-car garage (Image Source: Getty) Former MLB player Alex Guerrero, who spent the majority of his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers and later had a prolific career in Japan, is kicking down the door for big boy luxury real estate. And Guerrero has put an unfinished mansion in Miami up for $75 million. Sitting on Palm's North Bay Road, the property is being sold as a custom spec home with a mind-blowing 18-car garage, and its likely buyers are ultra-wealthy types who value peace as much as prestige. The property's standout features The mansion occupies a half-acre plot of land on the waterfront with 110 feet of open bay and space for a 90-foot yacht on a private dock. The estate, which also has seven en-suite bedrooms, was designed by the architecture firm Valle Valle & Partners and measures over 10,250 square feet. The master suite is 1,500 square feet and will have its private garden, balcony overlooking the bay, and cold plunge. — WSJRealEstate (@WSJRealEstate) Aside from this, there are two indoor kitchens and a complete outdoor caterer's kitchen, great for entertainment purposes. On the outside, space is equipped with an infinity-edge pool, hot tub, and tropical landscaping to complement the luxurious feel. But the pièce de résistance is the home with the 18-car garage, which has a three-car climate-controlled space above ground and a 15-car underground bay, which the resident accesses through a gated entrance equipped with a waterfall-activated sensor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40+ Say This Wrinkle Serum "Really Delivered' (Shocking Results) The Skincare Magazine Undo Strategic pricing and Alex Guerrero's real estate journey Alex Guerrero paid a hefty amount of $13.6 million for the lot in the year 2023, after having completed a spec mansion on Palm Island that sold for $17 million. He situates the existing mid-construction North Bay Road project, which he anticipates wrapping in 2026, so that prospective buyers can customize finishes and layouts to their preference. Home to stars including the Beckhams, Cindy Crawford, and Karlie Kloss, North Bay Road is among Miami's more exclusive addresses. Quoting Guerrero's asking rate would be no mistake, as the location is so highly sought after that the Beckhams officially purchased it last October for about $72 million. Also Read: Shohei Ohtani's return to mound dominates with record viewership Alex Guerrero, now 38, has successfully repurposed himself from pro athlete to high-end developer. And he is listed by Lourdes Alatriste of Douglas Elliman, who seems to be making a serious run at the upper-echelon level of real estate in Miami. So this mansion, to Guerrero, is more than a property; it's a statement piece for those buyers seeking high-end design, privacy, and the Miami experience.
