RANCHI, AUG 10 (PTI): Police used water cannons, lobbed tear gas shells, and lathi-charged job aspirants as they breached barricades and attempted to reach the state assembly, protesting the alleged recruitment exam irregularities. Failing to restrain the gathering, the police fired several rounds of tear gas shells when the protesters were about 200 meters away from the assembly. “If we cannot reach the assembly, our voices must reach them. Earlier, replying to a query on the protests in the assembly, Kumar alleged the agitation has shifted from being a students’ movement to one dominated by “BJP’s evil mentality and political designs”. The agitators are demanding comprehensive reforms in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC).
