Incident
MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) and Shiv Sena activists attacked 13 railway board examination centres in suburban Mumbai to protest against “inadequate representation” of locals of Maharashtra in the above said exams. As Per MNS, locals i.e. Maharashtrians should be given priority over others as the railway posts were vacant in Maharastra. The applications received from most of the locals of Maharastra were rejected and if the same were accepted they were not provided with hall tickets. Moreover, the applications received from locals residing in Bihar were accepted and issued Hall Tickets to sit in the exam hall. Irked by such irresponsible behaviour of Railways, MNS workers entered the examination halls and vacated all the people of bihar and stopped them from giving the exams.
