Two injured during chaos at Navy recruitment drive in Mumbai

Two candidates were injured in a chaos outside INS Hamla in Malad here during a Naval recruitment drive today.
"The Indian Navy is conducting a Special Recruitment Drive for Senior Secondary Recruits at INS Hamla, Malad. Due to the overwhelming response, a very large number of candidates have reported for the said drive.
"Adequate arrangements for crowd control have also been made in liaison with Mumbai Police. However, due to some over-enthusiastic candidates desiring to enter the premises before the others, crowding resulted at the main gate of INS Hamla, which was controlled by Civil and Naval Police present at the site," a Defence official said.

"Two candidates received minor injuries in this jostling at the main gate and were treated at the Naval Hospital at INS Hamla," he said.
The examination is currently in progress in batches, and will continue till all eligible candidates with valid documents take the examination, he said.
"There has been no change in the minimum educational qualifications etc, and all the volunteers (with valid documents) will get a chance to appear for the recruitment opportunity," the official said.
