“It has come to notice that aspirants of Railway job have indulged in vandalism/unlawful activities like protesting on railway tracks, disruption of train operations, damaging railway properties etc.,” the Ministry said in a public notice.

“Railway job aspirants/candidates are advised not to be misguided or come under the influence of such elements who are trying to use them for fulfilling their own selfish ends.”
On Monday, alleging discrepancies in the results of an exam conducted by the RRB, thousands of protesters in Bihar gathered on railway tracks.
