  "account": "The Jharkhand government has promised to address the demands of student protesters who have been rallying against alleged irregularities in recruitment exams. Chief Minister Hemant Soren assured the students that \"justice will be delivered,\" while Education Minister Sudivya Kumar said the government would probe criminal cases through the Crime Investigation Department (CID) and set up fast-track courts to expedite cases. The government also claimed to have met 98% of the students' demands, including canceling 14 recruitment exams and backlog recruitments, and forming a committee of experts from IIT-ISM, IIM Ranchi, and XLRI to oversee reforms. However, the students rejected the monitoring committee proposal and have vowed to march to the state assembly on Monday, unless a CBI probe into the irregularities is announced.",
  "summary": "The Jharkhand government on Sunday began fresh talks with the students after three days of inconclusive meetings.",
