Jharkhand students march in ‘Abhar Yatra’ after government accepts demands and cancels exam

A group of students across Jharkhand took to the streets in a coordinated march called the 'Abhar Yatra' on Monday. The protest, organized by student bodies, was aimed at pressuring the state administration to address their grievances.

In response, the Jharkhand government announced that it had accepted the students' demands and would cancel the upcoming examination that had been a point of contention. Officials said the decision was taken to avoid further disruption to academic activities.

The cancellation of the exam is expected to provide immediate relief to thousands of students who had been preparing for it. Authorities have urged students to resume regular studies while the government reviews related academic policies.

The march concluded peacefully, with participants dispersing after the announcement. The state education department has pledged to engage with student representatives on a longer‑term solution to the issues raised during the protest.
