Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren addressed the ongoing recruitment row on Tuesday, assuring that his government was examining the concerns of protesting job aspirants with utmost seriousness. The chief minister stated that decisions regarding the alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations would be taken at the appropriate time after a thorough investigation.
