Bharuch, July 11: A large crowd of youngsters turned up in Bharuch's Ankleshwar on Tuesday (July 9) after they learnt about the vacany of 10 posts at a private company. The overcrowding of youth to land a job almost went out of control and a hotel railing broke due to extreme pressure from the applicants. Fortunately, a stampede like situation was avoided and no injuries were reported in the incident.
A viral video surfaced on social media showing an enormous rush of younsters seeking a job after they learnt about a vacany at Thermax Company at Lord's Plaza Hotel, Ankleshwar. The company had posted the vacancies along with the required qualification and work experience.
However, the walk-in-interview threatened to turn into a mass 'mess' as it got dangerously overcrowded, showed the video.
The poor railing had to bear the brunt of the eager and enthusiastic youngsters keen to get the job.
Fortunately, there were no injuries in the incident. However, as the video shows, the incident could have got ugly.
After the video surfaced, two kinds of reactions came in. On the one hand, netizens commented how the huge rush of candidates applying for 10 posts hints how eager youngsters are to get a job.
On the other hand, some even questioned the security measures and arrangements made by the company and said that the organisation should have been ready to handle such a large crowd if they published the vacancy for the walk-in interview.
Also, this isn't the first time that such a video or visual has surfaced. Videos of candidates far outnumbering the vacancies especially when it comes to government jobs has become a common sight in recent days. There have been time and again demands made to ensure that such situations are avoided at any cost. However, the results are yet to show up.
Congress Reacts To Video
The Congress party also shared the video of the overcrowding in Bharuch and took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the "Gujarat model" over the incident.
"Gujarat model of Narendra Modi. A huge crowd of unemployed people gathered for a hotel job in Bharuch, Gujarat. The situation became such that the railing of the hotel broke and the Gujarat model was exposed. Narendra Modi is imposing this model of unemployment on the entire country," said Congress in its post.
The BJP has been in power in Gujarat for over 3 decades now. Congress' post is an attempt by the grand old party to corner the formidable BJP in its bastion.
Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, on July 1, speaking in the Lok Sabha had challenged the BJP and said that the INDIA bloc would surely defeat the BJP in Gujarat and that he could give it in writing.
