JSSC-CGL Cancelled: Devendra Mahto Ends Strike | Inside Story of Ranchi Protest | Hemant Soren

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has agreed to the primary demands of protesting aspirants by deciding to cancel the controversial JSSC-CGL and JPSC examinations. Following prolonged demonstrations and a tense sit-in protest in Ranchi, student leader Devendra Mahto officially called off his ongoing hunger strike after the government assured fulfillment of their demands. The protests erupted over alleged paper leaks and systemic irregularities in state-level recruitment exams, sparking widespread anger among job seekers. The administration's sudden about-face aims to restore calm in the state capital and address the growing youth unrest regarding employment opportunities. Authorities are expected to announce revised guidelines and schedules for conducting fair and transparent examinations in the near future, ensuring the grievances of thousands of candidates are formally addressed by the state machinery.
