A stampede-like situation occurred at Mumbai airport as over 25,000 job seekers applied for 2,216 airport loader positions at Air India. The massive crowd overwhelmed airport staff, leading to chaos and long waits without food or water. Candidates physically pushed to reach application counters, eager for a chance at a job paying ₹20,000-₹25,000 per month. The recruitment drive highlighted India's unemployment crisis, with many willing to forgo education for a secure job. Air India staff struggled to manage the crowds, leading to a chaotic and dangerous situation. No injuries were reported.
