Indian police fired at an angry mob who set trains on fire Friday during protests against a new short-term military recruitment scheme that have flared around the country.

Policemen carry a wounded man after opening fire to disperse protestors during a demonstration against the government’s new ‘Agnipath’ recruitment scheme for the army, navy, and air forces at a railway station in Secunderabad on June 17, 2022.

Officers fired live rounds to disperse the protesters, an AFP photographer at the scene witnessed, with at least one demonstrator wounded in the incident.Protests have raged in several cities around the country since Thursday when police in eastern Bihar state fired tear gas at crowds who set train carriages alight and tried to storm government buildings.

The new recruits will miss out on entitlements enjoyed by existing personnel, including government pensions, unless they are retained after the four-year programme.
