In Jharkhand, students protesting over alleged irregularities in recruitment exams have formed an 11-member delegation to hold talks with the state government. The delegation includes eight students, a lawyer, and two technical experts, who will provide guidance rather than dictate terms. The protest, now in its 14th day and with six demonstrators on a hunger strike, has called for a meeting with Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
A five-member government panel, including ministers Dipika Pandey Singh and Sudivya Kumar, is also expected to be part of the discussions. The talks are expected to take place on Friday, August 7, with protesters insisting on open-door discussions rather than private meetings.
