Sushil Modi said he apprised Vaishnaw about the problems and demands of candidates. He added Vaishnaw told him that the government was in agreement with the students and a decision would be taken soon as per their demand.

Sushil Modi appealed to the police against taking any coercive action against the students. “Students are not criminals,” he said in a statement on Thursday.

He also appealed to the students to exercise restraint so that the Railway Board can complete the investigation into the matter and make a decision in the interest of the examinees.

Vaishnaw on Wednesday urged job aspirants against destroying public property and assured them that their grievances would be resolved as candidates went on a rampage over alleged irregularities in a recruitment exam.

The candidates are opposing the railway ministry’s decision to hold the exam in two stages.
