Youths rally in Arunachal in support of Wangchuk
A group of young people in Arunachal Pradesh held a big protest march in their capital city, Itanagar.
They were supporting a man named Sonam Wangchuk who has been on a hunger strike for two weeks.
The protesters are upset because they think some exam papers have been leaked, which makes it unfair for students who work hard.
They want the government to take strong action against those responsible and make sure exams are fair and honest.
The protest started at a busy shopping area and ended at a park, with people holding signs and shouting slogans.
They also want the education minister to step down because they believe he isn't doing enough to fix these problems.
The protest was peaceful, and the young people promised to keep fighting until they see changes.
Thousands of youths organized a protest rally in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, in support of activist Sonam Wangchuk.
Protesters demanded stringent action against alleged examination paper leak scams and greater transparency in the competitive examination system.

Protesters called for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and greater accountability in the education system.
