Mumbai, Mar 20: Several job aspirants on Tuesday staged a protest between Mumbai's Matunga and
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway stations, stalling local train services
leaving hundreds of commuters stranded.
The protesters were demanding employment in Central Railways, claiming they have already cleared the examinations for the same.
The protesters stopped trains plying between Matunga and Dadar stations. Police personnel were rushed to the spot soon after the protests gained momentum. The aspirants reportedly resorted to stone pelting on the cops as they tried to stop them from protesting on railway tracks.
The aspirants claim that they have cleared the examination conducted by the Railways. The Central line of Mumbai local train network runs from Chhatrapati Shivani Terminus to Karjat and Khapoli. As many as 40 to 42 lakh commuters travel via the Central line everyday.
Later, the agitaors have called off their protest after an assurance from the top railway officers and the trains have started moving between Matunga and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. However, protesters are yet to vacate the site. UNI
