The protest by Jharkhand students over alleged recruitment exam irregularities entered its 21st day on Friday. Protesters plan to take out a Tiranga Yatra on August 15, while police continue investigating violence during the August 10 Vidhan Sabha March.
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.
