This is first time that youths staged protest at a railway station in the state capital, after reports of protests at various railway stations across Bihar over the last four days.
The protests against age limit reduction for Group D recruitments and reserving most of the seats for ITI holders in the railways came a day after thousands of unemployed youths protested at Rafiganj railway station in Aurangabad district, Athamgola station in Patna district, Muzaffarpur station and Hajipur railway station in Vaishali district.
In a bid to disperse protestors at Rajindra Nagar Terminal, the police resorted to lathicharge and beat up some of them.
The police also took into custody Chunnu Singh -- the president of Bihar unit of National Students' Union of India (NSUI) -- for leading the protests.
The protesters shouted slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government and carried placards that read "Hum pakoda nahi bechenge", "Protest against surgical strike on railway job aspirants" and "Notify more jobs in railways", among others.
