Jharkhand student protest: "Don't think I will survive much longer," Prem Nayak on hunger strike alleges Govt apathy

Chhattisgarh students are staging a 23rd day hunger strike protest against the state government, alleging irregularities in recruitment exams. Leader Prem Nayak, on day 13 of his hunger strike, claims the government lacks seriousness and fears he might not survive much longer. Discussions about surrounding the Chief Minister's residence are ongoing, with alternatives suggested such as shutting down schools and colleges.

Student leader Ravindra Paswan urged the government to address demands, including the cancellation of JSSC CGL and JPSC 11th to 13th exams, a CBI probe, and Chief Minister Hemant Soren's resignation. If unmet, students plan to burn effigies of Soren and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi across all 24 districts starting August 21.
