Jharkhand Students Protest Recruitment Exam Irregularities Amid Birthday of CM Hemant Soren
Jharkhand students have been protesting for over two weeks against alleged irregularities in state recruitment exams, demanding reforms and a CBI probe. Despite some government concessions, including exam cancellations, protests continue. On Chief Minister Hemant Soren's 51st birthday, students symbolically cut a cake and marched to the state assembly, where police used batons and water cannons to disperse them. Soren emphasized dialogue over force and promised transparent justice, but tensions remain high amid ongoing demonstrations.
