Bihar students will launch an indefinite hunger strike from August 18, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Sunil Kumar Tiwari. The decision follows repeated delays in the release of the TRE 4 teacher recruitment exam notification. Student leader Sanjay Kumar said Tiwari had promised the notification would be issued in July, but the deadline was missed without explanation.
