Bihar protests enter 3rd day, UP suspends 6 cops for student crackdown
The protest against the Ministry of Railways’ recruitment process have been centred around Bihar and poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, which account for a bulk of the candidates who appeared for the common test for the Non Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) posts.
In Bihar, protesters torched four empty coaches of a stationary train in Gaya and blocked rail traffic between Gaya and Jehanabad on Wednesday. Protests were also held in Patna, Bhagalpur and Sasaram.
In UP, three policemen were suspended a day after a crackdown on a group of students who allegedly tried to stop a train in Prayagraj on Tuesday. A case has also been lodged against three named and 1,000 unidentified protesters for rioting and stone-throwing.
