Yes, that's a very unfortunate incident that highlights the severity of unemployment in India.
Here's a summary of what happened:
Around 1,800 job aspirants showed up for an interview for only 10 positions at a private company in Gujarat
- The venue, Lords Plaza Hotel in Ankleshwar, was overcrowded, leading to a steel railing collapsing as the crowd surged forward
- Thankfully, there were no serious injuries reported as the railing was not very high.
This high competition for a small number of jobs reflects a harsh reality for many job seekers in India.
