Jharkhand exam irregularities protest enters 13th day with 6 on fast; issue to rock Assembly

The protest against alleged examination irregularities in Jharkhand is likely to rock the Monsoon Session of the Assembly on Thursday, as the stir gained steam over the past 13 days with six demonstrators on hunger strike.

The protest, which began on July 25 under the banner of the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium here, emerged as one of the biggest student-led movements in the state in recent years.

The demonstrators are demanding cancellation of the 14th Jharkhand PSC Civil Services Examination and an independent probe into the alleged irregularities in the recruitment test either by the CBI or by a panel of retired high court judges from outside the state.
