Job aspirants protesting against alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations in Jharkhand will hold fresh talks with the state government on Monday as their agitation entered its 24th day.

The meeting, scheduled for 2 pm, will be the seventh round of talks between the government and the protesting students. Earlier rounds failed to resolve the issue.

Six protesters continue to remain on hunger strike. The agitation is being led by the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, which has been demanding a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations and cancellation of the JSSC-CGL examination.

“We will definitely go for the talks as we want to resolve the issue through dialogue. We are firm on two of our demands — a CBI probe into irregularities in recruitment exams and cancellation of the JSSC-CGL exams,” JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch leader Ravindra Paswan said.
