The Jharkhand government claims it has accepted 98% of demands made by protesting students regarding exam irregularities, but student unions have rejected the claim as false. They plan to march to the Vidhan Sabha on Monday despite police barricades and prohibitory orders. The standoff has lasted 16 days, with six students on hunger strike.
