Protesters in Jharkhand have announced a march to the residence of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, demanding his resignation over alleged misgovernance.
Earlier this week, demonstrators in Jharkhand announced plans to march to the residence of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, calling for his resignation amid accusations of misgovernance and corruption.
The protest group, which includes members of opposition parties and civil society activists, said it would begin the march from the city of Ranchi and converge on Soren’s official residence in the capital.
Organizers cited a series of alleged irregularities in the state’s handling of public funds and a perceived failure to address key development issues as the main reasons for their demands.
Law enforcement officials have been briefed on the planned route and have pledged to maintain order while ensuring the right to peaceful protest.
