With over 12,000 applicants, the medical tests starting Saturday will be the next bottleneck. Candidates who clear medicals still face physical tests before final selection. The rally runs until 23 October, giving a full fortnight to process the remaining applicants. Colonel Chandra's figures suggest roughly 7,500 more runners will be tested in the second phase, keeping district administration and army officials on alert for the scale of the event. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight factual reporting of rally numbers and schedule This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
