Three members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (PSC) have resigned following protests over alleged irregularities in a recruitment test and accusations of paper leaks, according to the state governor’s office. The resignations came after widespread public outrage over the transparency of the examination process, which candidates claimed was compromised. The governor, Rajendra Shukla, accepted the resignations, marking a significant development in the ongoing controversy.
The incident has raised concerns about the integrity of the recruitment process in Jharkhand, with many candidates alleging that exam papers were leaked before the test. Protests have been reported in several districts, with participants demanding a thorough investigation into the matter. The PSC, responsible for conducting competitive exams for government jobs, faces growing pressure to restore public trust in its procedures.
The state government has yet to officially comment on the resignations or the allegations, though officials have been urged to take immediate action. The situation highlights the challenges of maintaining transparency in public examinations, particularly in states with high competition for government positions. (thehindu.com)
