One person has died and over 15 people have been injured in Telangana’s Secunderabad as protests against Agneepath scheme intensified on Friday. On the third day of protest against the new defence recruitment scheme, another train has been set ablaze by a group of youth claiming to be job aspirants. After protests in several states, the government raised the upper age limit to 23 years from 21 years for recruitment under the scheme for the year 2022, without making a reference to the turmoil. The move will make the permanent force levels much leaner for the over 13-lakh strong armed forces in the country Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Thursday said loopholes in a government scheme, if any, can be removed to ensure that everyone benefits out of it. On Thursday, trains were set afire, public and police vehicles attacked and personnel injured as protests over ‘Agnipath’ snowballed and swept across several states.
