IndiaLiveCID raids JSSC office in Ranchi over alleged recruitment exam 'irregularities'

Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Manoj Pandey expressed confidence that talks between the state administration and protesting JPSC-JSSC students would break the deadlock over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations. He said a “conclusion will definitely emerge” from the discussions.

The student protest at Jaipal Singh Stadium entered its 24th consecutive day. The protesters are demanding reforms in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC), along with a CBI probe into alleged irregularities.

Speaking about the negotiations, Pandey said, “Students will surely attend today’s gathering with a positive mindset, and after the discussions, a resolution will be reached on the matter. The deadlock will be broken, and we hope the strike and protests will come to an end today.”

Pandey said the administration wanted the protesting students to return to their exam preparations and assured them of necessary reforms.

“Because the students–who are our own children, the youth of this state–should go back and prepare for their exams. The government stands with them, and it is ready to implement all necessary reforms. So, point-by-point discussions will take place, and we are confident a positive outcome will be achieved,” he said.
