Services on the Central Railway line in Mumbai have been badly hit on Tuesday morning after job-seekers protested on the tracks about several issues related to railway recruitment. The protest by All India Railway Act Apprenticeship students is being held between Matunga and Dadar on Central line, giving a tough time to commuters going to work. Protestors from across the country are participating in the protest demanding jobs in railways. They are not only halting local trains but long route trains too, forcing commuters to take a walk to the nearby railway stations. Protestors allege that although they met Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, their demands were not redressed. The protestors who have passed the Railway act apprentice exam are demanding the removal of 20% upper limit in the hiring of candidates for Railway jobs.
