Jharkhand’s government is set to hold its sixth round of talks with students protesting alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations on Sunday. The discussions focus on the JPSC and JSSC exams, with the government aiming to break a growing deadlock over changes demanded by the protesters.
According to reports, a government panel holds talks with the students while updating Chief Minister Hemant Soren on the status of negotiations from earlier rounds. NDTV reports the latest meeting is scheduled for around 12 pm after a four-hour session between the panel and the chief minister. The students continue their demonstrations, saying they will not stop until their demands are met.
Outlets broadly agree on the timing and purpose of the sixth round, but differ slightly on emphasis. Times of India highlights the protesters’ demand for major reforms and an independent investigation through the CBI or retired judges, while NDTV focuses more on the panel’s progress update to the chief minister and the meeting time.
