The morning rush hour was even more of a train wreck than usual yesterday, as the Central Railway (CR) was paralysed by a three-and-a-half-hour agitation by railway apprentice workers seeking permanent jobs. Over 1,000 protestors stormed the tracks and blocked the passage of trains. When they were asked to leave, they pelted stones at the police, forcing cops to retaliate with a lathi charge.
