After Delhi, Ranchi Erupts: Students Launch Indefinite Protest Over Paper Leak & Jobs

Delhi's student movement has now found a powerful echo in Ranchi. Inspired by the protests at Jantar Mantar, students in Jharkhand have launched an indefinite satyagraha at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium, alleging paper leaks, recruitment irregularities, examination delays and rising unemployment. Student leader Devendra Nath Mahato has begun an indefinite hunger strike, demanding a CBI and ED investigation into alleged recruitment scams, fresh and transparent examinations, a time-bound recruitment calendar and strict action against those responsible for paper leaks. As political parties enter the debate and the BJP intensifies its attack on the Hemant Soren government, the agitation is rapidly evolving from a student protest into a major political flashpoint. Watch this report for the latest developments from Ranchi and what this growing movement could mean for Jharkhand's recruitment system.
