Students are protesting in Jharkhand against the alleged irregularities in the JPSC, JSSC and other recruitment exams over the last few days.

Jharkhand man climbs 100 ft mobile tower after exam irregularities prevent wife from getting job

A 25-year-old man from Latehar district named Heeralal climbed a 100-foot-high mobile tower at Jaipal Singh Munda stadium in Ranchi on Sunday morning. He demanded that Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren address his grievances regarding irregularities in recruitment examinations. These examinations had prevented his wife from securing a job, prompting him to protest the situation.

Police officers and media personnel tried to convince Heeralal to come down from the tower, but he refused until he was successfully rescued around 7:30 AM after hours of negotiations. The exact reason for Heeralal's actions remains unclear at this point, as police are still investigating the incident.
