Bhopal: 'Agneepath scheme' is becoming a problem for the government. Now guess this from the fact that even after the assurance of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, there were violent protests in the state. A day after fierce clashes and stone-pelting in Gwalior, violent protests erupted from Laxmibai Nagar railway station in Indore. The protesters stopped two trains and injured at least five policemen. In which a sub-inspector was also involved, whose ear was attacked with a stone.

The assurance of the same CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan also did not work. In fact, the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh had announced on Wednesday that 'Agniveer' would be given priority in the state police service recruitment. He had said that the jawans serving under the Agneepath scheme would be given priority in recruitment in the Madhya Pradesh Police. Ex-servicemen, who have been protesting since April, have questioned his promises, alleging that the state government this year abolished 10 per cent reservation in police for ex-servicemen.

Anil Singh, a retired soldier who took part in the protest said, “We are getting the benefit of 10 per cent reservation since 1999, but the state government has stopped it. We are requesting the state government to consider our request. " Some ex-servicemen have also approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court regarding this matter, which has issued notices to the state government and the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) for not giving the benefit of reservation to retired army personnel. The petitioners claimed in a petition that the promises made to the ex-servicemen in the MPPSC-2019 recruitment were not implemented. Under the norms, ex-servicemen get relaxation in physical standard tests for recruitment to the state police force. 10 percent vacancies are reserved for them in Group 'C' posts and 20 percent in Group 'D' posts. They also get priority in allotment of industrial plots, sheds and fair price shops.
