Protestors set fire to trains in India as agitation against new army recruitment scheme intensify

Intro:

Protests against India's new army recruitment scheme are intensifying – with agitators setting fire to trains and buses in several provinces over the weekend.

They're demanding a rollback of the program – saying it makes their job prospects uncertain.

The scheme called Agnipath – or the way of fire - aims to recruit 17-year-olds for a four-year stint – with no promise of permanent employment.
