Over 100 ABVP workers were detained during a protest march in Jharkhand as students continue to demand accountability over alleged irregularities in recruitment exams. The demonstrations, which have entered their 18th day, have seen widespread participation and a state-wide bandh called by the BJP. The protest began after students claimed unfair practices in recent examinations, leading to growing unrest and calls for transparency.
The police intervened during the march, resulting in the arrest of ABVP members who were marching towards the Jharkhand Assembly. One student leader, Devendra Nath Mahto, reportedly lost consciousness during the protest and was hospitalized for medical treatment. The situation has intensified as tensions between students and authorities continue to rise.
The government has not yet issued a formal response to the allegations, but the protests have drawn national attention. The ABVP, a student organization affiliated with the BJP, has remained a key player in the demonstrations, urging further action against what they describe as systemic corruption. The ongoing unrest highlights deepening concerns over educational transparency in the state.
The protests remain ongoing, with students and activists demanding immediate reforms and accountability. (thehindu.com)
