Job Aspirants Detained After Clashes with Police During Patna Protest for Recruitment Reforms
Several job aspirants in Patna were detained after a scuffle with police during a march to Lok Bhavan demanding a transparent recruitment process. Protesters, including guest faculty and PhD holders, seek implementation of UGC 2018 regulations, increased age limits, regularisation of assistant professor appointments, and a domicile policy. Barricades near R-Golumber led to clashes, with police using mild force. Protesters warned of a gherao at the chief minister's residence on August 25 and threatened a bandh if demands remain unaddressed.
