Railway officials have stopped all trains on this route. All buses have also been stopped. RPF is trying to remove the agitators from the railway station.

Let us tell you that Agneepath, the plan of recruitment for four years in the army, is being opposed across the country. The students are angry with this plan. Under this scheme of Modi government, now youth will be recruited in the army only for four years, after that they will be retired without pension.

Police is hopelessly outnumbered by the Agneepath vandals. Firefighters are trying to save what is left of the coaches. The bizarre sloganeering amidst such destruction continues 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' they are saying after having burnt down public property. #Secunderabad pic.twitter.com/qefNaKq78Q

The students who were diligently dreaming of joining the army are angry with this plan and are opposing the government.

In this scheme of the central government, the youth who are recruited in the army for four years will be called Agniveer. The government believes that with this the army will always remain young. But the students say that it is cheating on them.
