The Jharkhand Police has imposed prohibitory orders around the assembly premises and made elaborate security arrangements across the city in view of Monday’s (August 10, 2026) ‘Vidhan Sabha March’ called by students who have been protesting for more than two weeks against irregularities in recruitment exams in the state. Protestors alleged that hundreds of students coming to the State capital from different parts of Jharkhand were being stopped by the police forcefully.

The Jharkhand government on Sunday (August 9, 2026) agreed to cancel the 14th Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) preliminary examination and the JPSC backlog examinations held in 2023 and 2025 following six hours of discussions with protesting student groups. However, the students remained firm on their demand for a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in the JSSC-CGL examination and said the agitation would continue. The announcement came even as all three JPSC members resigned and Chief Minister Hemant Soren assured protesters that “justice will be delivered with full transparency”.

Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) and JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, said they want cancellation of JSSC-CGL and all exams connected to the TSR Data Processing Private Limited Agency, a blacklisted entity.
