A recruitment drive for airport loaders led to a stampede-like situation in Mumbai yesterday. More than 25,000 applicants turned up for a shot at the 2,216 vacancies, and the staff of Air India Airport Services Limited struggled to manage the massive crowd. Air India Airport Services Limited provides ground handling services at major airports in India.
Visuals showed the applicants jostling with each other to reach the form counters. Reports said the applicants had to wait for hours without food and water, and many of them started feeling unwell.
