Jharkhand students continued their agitation against alleged JPSC and JSSC recruitment irregularities for the 19th day, demanding Rahul Gandhi visit Ranchi after Monday's police action. Protesters seek cancellation of JSSC-CGL and a CBI probe, while the government favours dialogue
The Jharkhand government held multiple rounds of talks with student groups protesting alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, but the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch accused the move of being "political manoeuvring" aimed at dividing students. Despite assurances of further talks, the agitation continues with plans for an Assembly march on August 10.
