ADVERTISEMENTStudents Firm On DemandsThe protesters are seeking greater transparency in examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). A separate group of students, Jharkhand Chhatra Nyay, has announced a one-day hunger strike and a ‘kali patti’ (black armband) protest against Monday’s police action during their march towards the state assembly. Demonstrators claimed that several students were injured in the action, while Ranchi Police said 14 personnel were hurt during the clashes. The BJP demanded an independent inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the recruitment examinations. The protest has continued despite several rounds of negotiations between representatives of the students and the state government.
