"The job fair was organised today at approximately forty-five locations across the country, through which appointment letters were distributed to more than sixty-one thousand people. Efforts were made to connect young men and women with employment opportunities in every sector, and this time, the maximum number of appointments in this job fair were given in the security forces. It is always a matter of great joy for me whenever I get the opportunity to distribute appointment letters in any corner of the country on the instructions of the Prime Minister," Paswan told reporters.
