Curated summary

Jharkhand’s government says it will address most demands from protesting students after more than two weeks of agitation over recruitment exam irregularities. It agreed to cancel the 14th JPSC prelims, JPSC Backlog 2023 and JPSC Backlog 2025, and promised CID probes, fast-track courts and chargesheets within 90 days. Students say the fight is not over until a CBI probe is ordered, and they are preparing further action.
