The protest by railway job aspirants took a violent turn as stones were pelted at a train in Bihar, disrupting service.
A train was allegedly vandalised by agitated railway job aspirants in Bihar after stones were pelted during the protests over recruitment exams. Stones could be seen all over the platform at the railway station and visuals also showed broken windows of a train.
Job aspirants were protesting against the selection process of the railways' recruitment exams. After incidents of violence were reported, the railways decided to suspend its Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) and Level 1 tests.
It has also formed a committee that will examine the grievances of those who have passed the exams under different railway recruitment boards (RRBs) and those who have failed.
After listening to both the parties, the committee will submit a report to the railway ministry, he said.
On Tuesday, the railways had issued a general notice, warning its job aspirants that those found involved in vandalism and unlawful activities while protesting will be barred from ever getting recruited in the railways.
This came a day after protesters squatted on railway tracks in several places in Bihar.
