Thousands of job aspirants protesting alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations in Jharkhand marched towards the state assembly on Monday, as the agitation entered its 17th day amid heightened security and a continuing deadlock between the protesters and the government.
The demonstrators gathered outside the old assembly complex in Dhurwa and began marching towards the new Vidhan Sabha building, raising slogans and carrying the tricolour and placards. The march coincides with Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s 51st birthday.
