Protests have continued for the third consecutive day in Patna, as hundreds of candidates demonstrated against what they claim are irregularities in the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam. The protesting candidates allege that the exam was marred by faulty question papers, discrepancies in marking, and unfair practices in the selection process. They are demanding the resignation of senior officials and a re-examination of the results to ensure fairness.
In response to the growing unrest, Bihar Police have been deployed in large numbers to maintain law and order. The protests, although largely peaceful, have caused disruptions in the city, with roads blocked and public transport affected. The state government has called for an investigation into the allegations while urging students to remain calm and refrain from any violent actions. This ongoing issue highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in the recruitment process within the state.
