Jharkhand Job Aspirants Hold 'Tiranga Yatra'

Students protesting alleged irregularities in Jharkhand's recruitment examinations took out a 'Tiranga Yatra' here on Saturday to mark India's 80th Independence Day. 

The march was organised from the protest site of Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium to Albert Ekka Chowk on the 22nd day of the agitation seeking reforms in the state's recruitment examination process. 

Thousands of job aspirants and people attended the march with the



tricolour in their hands and raising patriotic slogans such as 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram'.

Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha leader Devendra Mahta, who is on a fast for 14 days, alleged that the police did not allow him to leave the Sadar Hospital and join the march. 

Videos of him scuffling with security personnel while trying to come out of the hospital have been shared widely on social media.
