TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Police in India have fired tear gas at protesters demanding reforms to recruitment exams in the eastern state of Jharkhand. The protesters have been demonstrating for over two weeks, demanding an overhaul of Jharkhand's government exam system. The protests come after allegations of exam irregularities and leaked answer sheets, which have sparked widespread outrage and calls for investigation.

Key facts

▪Thousands of students, job seekers, and volunteers have been protesting in Ranchi, the capital city of Jharkhand, to demand reforms to the state's exam system.
▪The protests were sparked by allegations of irregularities in a preliminary civil service exam held by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) in April.
▪The government has agreed to cancel the exam in question, along with two others, and three JPSC members have reportedly resigned, but protesters say several demands remain unmet.
