According to the agency “Khovar,” GBAO, the city of Isfara, and several districts of the Rasht Valley have met their youth military service recruitment plan by 100%.

On the first day of the autumn draft, the rural communities of Vorukh and Chorkuh in the city of Isfara were among the first to fulfill their military recruitment obligations, reports “Khovar,” citing the press service of the chairman of the Sughd region.

The administration of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region also reported meeting its recruitment plan. The regional chairman stated that the cities and districts of the region implemented their recruitment plans on the very first day.

It was also reported that several districts of the Rasht Valley fulfilled their recruitment plans. According to “Khovar,” on October 1, the first day of the autumn draft, the Sangvor district met its plan by 100%, Lakhsh – 100%, Tajikabad – 101%, Nurobad – 101%, and Rasht – over 100%.

During the spring draft, it was also reported that some regions of the country, including GBAO, met their recruitment plans in one day. However, later videos surfaced online showing that despite meeting the recruitment plans, “raids” on conscripts are still ongoing in the country.

The recruitment of new soldiers into the armed forces in Tajikistan has been actively discussed for many years. Annually, during their service in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Tajikistan, soldiers are subjected to brutal beatings, resulting in some fatalities. There are even cases of people going missing. Most young people evade military service due to poor conditions. Authorities forcibly send youth of conscription age to the army through “raids.” These methods always provoke public outrage, yet the situation remains unchanged.
