It emerged on Friday that the authorities imposed restrictions on gatherings in a satellite city of India’s capital as one person was killed as protests against a new military recruitment process spread. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government unveiled the new recruitment system called Agnipath or “path of fire” in Hindi. It has triggered turmoil with police firing into the air to break up stone-throwing crowds and the torching of railway infrastructure.
