Bihar Police Detain Job Seekers Protesting Domicile Policy

Some people in Bihar want the government to give local people priority for government jobs, meaning they want a 'domicile policy'.

They held a protest in Patna, the capital city.

The protesters, led by a student leader, gathered near a park to express their demands, including reserving 90% of the jobs for people from Bihar.

The police detained some of them because they were blocking traffic.

The government has said no to this idea before, because it might break the rules of the country's laws.

However, the government recently decided that 35% reservation for women in government jobs will now apply only to permanent residents of Bihar.
