Indians Protest Against Recruitment Policy For The Military

Thousands of protesters have set train coaches and vehicles ablaze in India as protests against a new short-term government recruitment policy for the military entered a third day.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an overhaul of the recruitment process for the 1.38 million-strong armed forces, aimed at bringing in more people on short, four-year contracts to lower the average age of personnel.
Opposition parties and some members of Modi’s ruling Party say the system will lead to more unemployment in a country grappling with joblessness.
Nearly 25,000 police were deployed in the worst-hit Bihar state, where the protests spread to a dozen towns in eight districts.
