  "account": "On Monday, job aspirants for the Bihar Police held a protest march in Patna, urging the withdrawal of the cancellation of the sub-inspector mains examination. The Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission had cancelled the examination on September 23, citing unavoidable reasons for its cancellation. The aspirants, who had already cleared the preliminary and mains examinations, were preparing for the physical test when the examination was abruptly called off.\n\nRaunak Kumar, a protester, told PTI that they had invested more than a year preparing for the examination and were dismayed by the sudden cancellation without a concrete explanation. \"We passed the preliminary and mains examinations, and were preparing for the physical test. However, the examination was abruptly cancelled. No concrete reason was provided,\" Kumar said.\n\nThe protesters demanded that the recruitment process be resumed immediately and that dates for the physical examination be announced. They alleged that the government had succumbed to pressure from a handful of unsuccessful candidates, rather than upholding the merit of the successful aspirants. Another protester, Nidhi, expressed her concern, stating that the cancellation had disrupted the preparation of numerous candidates who had invested more than a year in their studies.\n\nThe protest followed a similar demonstration by another group of job aspirants in Patna last month, who accused the examination authorities of irregularities.",
