India strike over controversial Agnipath army hiring scheme – BBC News


Tens of thousands of job seekers have called for a shutdown in India to protest against a new army hiring plan which has sparked violence.

Some states shut down the internet and suspended train and bus services on Monday.

Protesters are demanding the rollback of the plan to hire soldiers on a fixed four-year term, saying it would shatter their dreams of a secure job.

They have taken to the streets, blocking roads and torching trains.
