JPSC exam cancellation demand met, but Jharkhand protesters to continue stir, march to assembly seeking CBI probe
Jharkhand Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu said fast-track courts would be constituted and charge sheets against the accused would be filed within 90 days.
Jharkhand students had their demand for the JPSC exam cancellation met, but they vowed to continue their protests. The student leaders, not ready to compromise, announced a march to the Jharkhand Assembly on August 10. The state government, following three days of talks with the students, decided to address alleged irregularities in the 14th GPSC and the 2023-25 backlog recruitments.
The government proposed a two-pronged approach, with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) investigating criminal aspects and the Economic Intelligence Department (ED) probing financial irregularities. A Jharkhand government panel expressed disappointment, urging the students to opt for dialogue and resolve the issue. The state government assured security measures for the August 10 march but pledged not to protect any culprits involved in the irregularities.
