Jharkhand Student Protest: Govt Accepts 98% Demands, But Stir Goes On

The Indian Opinion

Government claims to have accepted 98% of demands, but student unions call it a lie and push ahead with their march to the Vidhan Sabha today. The deadlock continues despite intense negotiations at the State Guest House in Ranchi. Chief Minister Hemant Soren says the government is handling the matter with sensitivity, while the administration has imposed prohibitory orders and barricaded key areas to prevent disruptions. The standoff, now in its 16th day, exposes a growing trust deficit between the ruling dispensation and job aspirants, who allege irregularities in recruitment exams. As six students continue their hunger strike, the government's attempts to pacify the protesters have clearly fallen short, raising questions about the handling of the crisis.
