Jharkhand student protest continues after talks fail to settle CBI inquiry demand
Published
Representatives of students protesting alleged JPSC and JSSC recruitment irregularities met state officials for about two hours, but no agreement emerged on a CBI investigation. The fourteen-day satyagraha therefore continued, with a further meeting involving Chief Minister Hemant Soren expected to decide the government's position.
Why it matters
The talks create a route out of a prolonged recruitment crisis, but unresolved investigation demands may extend disruption and delay appointments for thousands of candidates.
