Jharkhand activist Devendra Mahto of the Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) seeks a civil surgeon’s approval to return to his protest site after his health deteriorates. NDTV reports that he is shifted to hospital on Monday following worsening conditions connected to his participation in a march by agitating students toward the Jharkhand Assembly.

The reports place Mahto’s situation within the broader context of ongoing protest activity in Jharkhand and the involvement of JLKM leadership in student-led agitation. While the available account focuses on his medical condition and the procedural step of obtaining clearance from a civil surgeon, it does not provide additional details on the cause of his illness, the exact terms of the requested permission, or any response from authorities regarding his return to the protest location.
