Rush on runway at Indian railways

More than 25 million people have applied for a job with the Indian railways, the largest employer in the country, since last month.

The railways have tens of thousands of vacancies open to, among others, technicians and rail inspectors. In recent years, the search for new employees has not been actively sought, said the chairman of the daily management of the railways. 'That's why we need people. '

The railways placed advertisements last month to point out the available jobs. Since then, according to the chairman, more than 25 million people have reported via the internet. About 1.3 million people are currently working for the state-owned company, which is working on a billions of costs plan to modernize the infrastructure.
