Students of the JPSC-JSSC Aspirant Nyay Manch in Jharkhand have vowed to continue their agitation despite a second round of talks with the state government on Friday. The eight-member delegation said the government had 'seriously considered' their demands, which include cancellation of examinations conducted by the TDPL agency, a CBI probe into the JSSC CGL exam, and Rs 1 crore compensation for aspirants who died during physical tests for the excise constable recruitment. The JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, another group leading the protest, accused the government of 'political manoeuvring' and trying to create a divide by inviting student organisations affiliated with the Congress and JMM for separate meetings. The government panel has held five rounds of discussions so far and will hold a sixth on Sunday before taking a final decision.
