Ranchi: Another protest by India’s youth, another example of the government agreeing to their demands, at least partially as of now.
ADVERTISEMENTThe sixth round of talks between the government and students was held on Sunday in an effort to resolve the ongoing agitation over alleged irregularities linked to exams conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC).
The state government agreed to the demand for cancellation of the JPSC exam, following directions from chief minister Hemant Soren.
However, the deadlock continued over a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe and cancellation of the JSSC-CGL exam.
The students were firm on a CBI probe, while the Jharkhand government proposed an inquiry by a committee headed by a retired judge.
