Stampede-Like Situation as Hundreds of Job Seekers Flock to Interview in Mumbai: Watch Now

Tuesday at Air India Airport Services Ltd. in Mumbai’s Kalina, a large number of job applicants showed up for a walk-in interview, creating tumultuous scenes. Thousands of people are swarming the interview center, as seen in videos of the mob making the rounds on social media. Some others are also visible scaling trees and cars to get to the center more quickly. The hiring procedure was “mismanaged,” according to George Abram, general secretary of the Aviation Industry Workers Guild. For 2,216 available positions as utility agents and handymen—a person who does various repairs and maintenance duties—the Air India Airport Services has opened walk-in interviews.

“The reservation will be in accordance with the Presidential Directives,” it continued. The precise number of slots reserved would depend on the strength in place at the time of the appointment. The company apparently promised that all CVs sent would be evaluated and that qualified individuals would be contacted for a follow-up process, notwithstanding the difficulties. This occurs only a few days after a comparable occurrence in Bharuch, Gujarat, where hundreds of applicants showed up for a job interview held by the chemical company Thermax Company for a mere ten open posts. Social media users also shared a video of the sizable crowd fighting to get inside the interview center.
