The Dushanbe City Hall reported that as of April 4, the spring conscription plan for the Armed Forces has been completed by 100%.
In other regions of the country, the campaign continues. In Sughd, on the first day of the conscription, 46% of the established plan was fulfilled, reported the press service of the regional governor.
According to official data, the plans have also been fully completed in GBAO, the Rasht district, as well as in several cities and districts of the Khatlon region, including Bokhtar, Kulob, Norak, Dusti, Yavan, Vakhsh, Mujinobod, and Farkhor.
Previously, the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan reported that overall in the country, the fulfillment rate on the first day of conscription was 54.3%.
It is still unclear what percentage of the plan has been achieved in the other districts of the Khatlon region and in the districts directly subordinate to the republic.
The conscription campaign will last until May 31. This year, young people aged 18 to 27 (born between 1999 and 2008) will be drafted into the army.
Local authorities attribute the successful fulfillment of the plan in the early days to an increase in the number of volunteers, the offering of various benefits for conscripts, and well-organized informational work. Experts, however, note that under the new law on military obligations, authorities have been granted the right to draft youth throughout the year, which helps to fulfill the plan in the early stages of the campaign.
Every year, questions arise regarding the conditions of service in the army, including cases of mistreatment of soldiers, their living conditions, and even instances of death in military units.
