Job Aspirants Launch JPSC/JSSC Recruitment Protest in Ranchi

| India Youth Uprising

Hundreds of students and government-job aspirants begin an open-ended sit-in at Bapu Vatika in Ranchi, Jharkhand, demanding a CBI probe into alleged paper leaks and malpractice in Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) recruitment exams, including those outsourced to private vendor TSR Data Processing Pvt Ltd (TDPL). Organized under the JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch banner and led by Jharkhand Loktantrik Kranti Morcha figure Devendra Nath Mahto, the protest relocates to Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium on Jul 29 as it grows — a parallel, state-level youth exam-integrity movement distinct from the NEET/CBSE-driven Jantar Mantar protests in Delhi.
