A Student March in Jharkhand: The Right to Protest and the State's Response The city of Ranchi is bracing for a potentially massive student protest march to the state assembly on Monday, with thousands of students expected to converge on the Vidhan Sabha gherao.
The protesters, mainly aspirants for the JPSC JSSC exams, have been demanding accountability and reforms in the examination process, as well as a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exam.
The Jharkhand Police has assured students that they will not face action if the demonstration remains peaceful. However, the police force's preparedness is raising questions about the state's intentions.
