Jharkhand govt to hold fresh talks with students on Sunday protesting job exam 'irregularities'

The Jharkhand government plans to hold a sixth round of talks with protesting students on Sunday, addressing their grievances over alleged irregularities in job exams. A panel member informed that the talks will commence at 12 pm, following a four-hour meeting with Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The discussions will focus on comprehensive reforms in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC), as well as an independent probe into the irregularities.

The government has held five rounds of talks since Friday night, but the students have vowed to continue their protest until all demands are met. So far, 19 individuals have been arrested in connection with the alleged irregularities, and former panel chairperson L Khiangte has been questioned multiple times.
