Students in India's Jharkhand rallied outside the state Legislative Assembly, demanding reforms to government recruitment exams. Riot police responded by using water cannons and barriers to stop the demonstration in the capital city, Ranchi. This is the latest in a series of protests since late last month over alleged misconduct in public service recruitment examinations.
Hundreds of police monitored the assembly grounds, bolstered by drones, after talks with student leaders and the government proved unsuccessful. As protesters scaled the barriers near the Jagannath Mandir, situated approximately three kilometers from the assembly, security forces deployed water cannons in an attempt to disperse the crowd.
