JPSC-JSSC Dispute: 98% of demands met, yet why does the students’ protest continue? Midnight police arrival escalates tension.

Students in Jharkhand have been protesting for over two weeks against irregularities and malpractice in the JPSC and JSSC examinations. The state government has held talks with the students and claims to have accepted 98 percent of their demands; however, the issue remains deadlocked over the demand for a CBI inquiry. The students even attempted to lay siege to the Legislative Assembly to press for their remaining demands. While the government has agreed to the demand for a CBI probe, it is now making concerted efforts to end the protest.
