The Jharkhand government has cancelled 22 recruitment exams and initiated probes into 23 others following a 26-day student protest. The move aims to address corruption allegations, though it has sparked concern among candidates who had already secured government positions.
Around 2,000 successful candidates of the JSSC-CGL exam protested outside the Jharkhand Secretariat in Ranchi after the state government cancelled the recruitment test and all exams conducted by TDPL since 2014.
Thousands of protesters in Jharkhand, India, marched on the state parliament demanding a federal inquiry into government job exam irregularities, leading to police using water cannons.
Police used force against student protesters marching in Ranchi over exam irregularities, while Assam's flood death toll hit 100 and a Delhi court acquitted former wrestling chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment charges.
