Kunickaa Sadanand Joins Jharkhand Student Protest Over Recruitment Exam IrregularitiesPreviousNext

Actress Kunickaa Sadanand joined Jharkhand students protesting alleged recruitment exam irregularities by JPSC and JSSC, urging the government to be transparent and listen to the students. The protest, ongoing for 24 days with hunger strikes, demands a CBI inquiry, cancellation of the JSSC-CGL exam, and action against those involved in a ₹40 crore recruitment scam. The government has scheduled a seventh round of talks, while students plan a sit-in outside Chief Minister Hemant Soren's residence if demands remain unmet.
