Tight security in several states amid Bharat Bandh call over Agnipath

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Security has been beefed up in several states on Monday in view of the Bharat Bandh called by some organisations as a protest against the Agnipath recruitment scheme.

After the policy, which allows Indian youths to serve in the regular cadre of the Armed Forces for a period of four years, was announced on June 14, protests erupted in various states including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Telangana, Odisha, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Jharkhand and Assam.

As the agitation intensified in some places, protestors went on the rampage setting trains on fire, torching vehicles and damaging both private and public properties. Due to ongoing agitation against the Centre’s Agnipath scheme across the nation, several trains have been cancelled or rescheduled. The Congress will also hold “peaceful” protests across the country on Monday against the “anti-youth” Agnipath recruitment scheme.
