Bihar Bandh tomorrow against Agnipath scheme: What’s open, what’s shut
Patna, Jun 17: Youths protesting against the central government's Agnipath recruitment scheme have called for Bihar Bandh on Saturday.
Opposition party in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) extended their support to the strike to express solidarity with the agitators who are protesting Agnipath, new scheme for recruitment in the armed forces on a short-term contractual basis.

Protests against the Center's 'Agnipath' recruitment scheme intensified in Bihar on Friday as angry aspirants set fire to at least 20 bogies of the New Delhi-Bhagalpur Vikramshila Express and New Delhi-Darbhanga Bihar Sampark Kranti Express at Lakhisarai and Samastipur stations and blocked highways in the state.
The demonstrators blocked highways at several places in Buxar, Bhagalpur and Samastipur and burnt tyres as a mark of protest.
Protestors also set eight bogies of Bihar Sampark Kranti on fire at Samastipur railway station demanding scrapping of the Agnipath scheme for recruitment in the Armed Forces.
