‘Huge victory for Jharkhand’: Mahto ends hunger strike after Soren govt accepts demands

Student leader Devendra Nath Mahto concluded his 16-day hunger strike in Ranchi on Monday night, following the Jharkhand government's decision to cancel the JSSC-CGL examination and all TDPL-conducted exams. The government announced these cancellations during a special Cabinet meeting, citing the concerns raised by the protesting students.

Mahto thanked Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and other supporters for their assistance. He emphasized that the government's decision was a "huge victory for Jharkhand" and vowed to continue fighting for reforms, including stricter measures to prevent paper leaks and irregularities.
