Jharkhand Students Protest Over Exam Paper Leaks
Students in Ranchi are holding a protest at a stadium because they think the exams for state jobs were unfair.
They want the exams cancelled and a big investigation.
The police won’t let them set up tents, so many have to sleep in the rain.
People from all over India are sending food and money to help the students.
The protest is part of a bigger fight against cheating in state exams.
Students in Ranchi have staged a protest at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium since July 29, demanding cancellation of JPSC and JSSC exams after alleged paper leaks.
Protesters lack permission to erect tents, forcing many to sleep in the rain while police refuse to allow tents.
Supporters from across India have sent food, bedsheets, and money to the protest site, drawing comparisons to the Jantar Mantar movement.
The JPSC has seen arrests by CID, resignation of former chairperson L Khiangte, and calls for a CBI or ED probe into irregularities.
Protesters seek reforms to eliminate political interference and ensure a transparent recruitment process.
