The Telegraph··14 Aug
Jharkhand job aspirants' protest over alleged JPSC and JSSC exam irregularities entered its 21st day on August 14. Under the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, students said they would take a Tiranga Yatra in Ranchi on August 15, the 80th Independence Day. They also cautioned the district administration over an FIR from the August 10 Assembly march.

What It Means For You
- If you are a JPSC or JSSC aspirant, the Ranchi sit-in is in its fourth week and a Tiranga Yatra is listed for August 15.
- Candidates watching the 14th JPSC can note the Chief Minister has already said that examination would be cancelled.
- Anyone following the August 10 clash can see students warning the Ranchi administration against using the FIR to target marchers.
What's Happening
- On August 14 the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch said the protest had completed 21 days and announced an Independence Day flag march in Ranchi.
- Aspirants continued to seek cancellation of several papers and an inquiry by the CBI or outside retired judges.
- They linked the new march to the FIR registered after violence during the August 10 walk toward the Assembly.
What Has Already Been Offered in Ranchi
- The stir began over alleged paper leaks and irregularities in state recruitment tests run by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission and Staff Selection Commission.
- Devendra Nath Mahto of the Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha has been on hunger strike for 13 days, which officials say remains a health concern.
- After the August 10 Assembly march, police filed an FIR against a large number of unnamed persons, a step the Manch now wants the district not to use against students.
