Students from JPSC and JSSSC have announced plans to surround the Jharkhand assembly on Monday, prompting authorities to set up heavy police presence, barricades and barbed wire on main roads.
Students of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand State Service Commission (JSSSC) have declared their intention to encircle the state assembly on Monday in pursuit of their demands.
In response, the administration has deployed a substantial police contingent on key thoroughfares and erected robust barricades. Barbed wire has also been laid along critical routes to prevent any breach.
The move is aimed at preventing the protest from escalating into a larger confrontation. Authorities have warned that any attempt to breach the barricades could lead to arrests.
The students have not yet specified the exact nature of their demands, but the announcement has raised concerns about potential disruptions to legislative proceedings.
