As the protest against the Railway Recruitment Board’s two-tier exam for Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) took a violent turn in Bihar on Tuesday, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw urged the protesting students to remain calm.

The Union minister urged the aspirants to not indulge in violence. “I request students that railway is your property, please do not destroy it. We will solve your problems. The results of the exams will be transparent and fair,” Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

The minister’s statement came shortly after a group of protestors set fire to a train at the Gaya railway station in Bihar. The protestors also vandalised the station.
