A day after intense clashes and stone-throwing in Gwalior, violent protests were reported from the Laxmibai Nagar railway station in Indore.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's assurance for armed forces recruits marched out with pink slips under the 'Agnipath' scheme failed to sway angry protesters on Friday as violence, vandalism and arson continued to rage in parts of the state.
A day after intense clashes and stone-throwing in Gwalior, violent protests were reported from the Laxmibai Nagar railway station in Indore.
Protesters blocked two trains and left at least five policemen injured - including a sub-inspector who was hit on his ear with a stone. Soldiers from the army were called to guard the Mhow cantonment town in Indore to stop rampaging mobs.
The protests defied calls for calm by Chief Minister Chouhan who on Wednesday had announced that 'Agniveers' will be given priority in state police service recruitment
