Kerala LPST Rank Holders End Hunger Strike After Talks with Education Minister
LPST rank holders in Kerala ended their 13-day hunger strike after talks with Education Minister N Samsudheen, who assured resolution of their demands by September 24. Although the hunger strike ceased, the protest continues peacefully without demonstrations. The agitators allege slow recruitment from the LPST rank list published in May 2025. The Kerala government has requested 45 days to examine the issues, while a Crime Branch inquiry investigates alleged exam irregularities involving the Kerala Public Service Commission.
