Jharkhand Exam Protest Continues Amidst Official Visit and Political Fallout
Students in Jharkhand are continuing their 19th day of protest against alleged irregularities in the JSSC-CGL examination. On a late night, Ranchi's Deputy Commissioner and Senior Superintendent of Police visited the protest site, with the DC stating the visit was to inquire about protesters' difficulties and suggest practical next steps. Opposition leader Babulal Marandi alleged the visit aimed to weaken the movement, while BJP called for a CBI probe into the protests, which they deemed genuine. The Jharkhand Assembly was adjourned a day early due to disruptions related to actions against protesters, and a BJP-called bandh in the state reportedly affected normal life.
