Bihar Students Protest Over Delayed TRE-4 Teacher Recruitment Notification
Teacher recruitment aspirants in Bihar have begun an indefinite hunger strike in Patna demanding the immediate release of the TRE-4 recruitment advertisement and clarity on exam patterns and vacancies. The protest follows similar demonstrations in Delhi and Ranchi. Student leaders warn of escalating protests, including a march to the Bihar Assembly if demands are unmet within five days. The Bihar Public Service Commission is expected to issue the TRE-4 notification soon, with 32,388 vacancies announced by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.
