The Jharkhand government and student leaders failed to resolve the demand for a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the Combined Graduate Level examination during talks on Sunday. Police have imposed prohibitory orders around the Assembly building and deployed additional forces ahead of Monday's planned 'Vidhan Sabha gherao' by JPSC-JSSC aspirants. The government agreed to consider cancelling three recruitment exams but rejected the CBI probe demand, offering a judicial inquiry instead. Student leaders insisted the CBI probe was non-negotiable. Ranchi police said they would allow peaceful protest but act against violence. Prohibitory orders under section 144 have been enforced within 750 metres of the Assembly.
