IIM Alumni Urge PM to Address NEET Protests
A group of women who graduated from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of India.
They are worried about students who are protesting because of a problem with a big exam called NEET.
The students think the exam was leaked, and they want the Education Minister to take responsibility.
The women from IIM say the students have the right to protest peacefully and should not be hurt by the police.
They want the government to listen to the students and make sure the exams are fair in the future.
A group of IIM women alumni wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
They urged the government to address the NEET paper leak and hold Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan accountable.
Protesters in Delhi have been met with force from police, with 118 security personnel injured.
The alumni insisted that students' voices must be heard for the country's progress.
They made six demands, including no use of force against protesters and specific reforms to examination security protocols.
