Protests in Jharkhand by students over alleged anomalies in job examinations have entered their 21st day. Demonstrators are demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the matter, escalating their actions with a planned 'Tiranga Yatra' on August 15, according to reports from The Hindu.

On August 12, former Chief Minister Raghubar Das threatened to initiate a hunger strike if their demands for an investigation are not addressed within a week. Meanwhile, the Ranchi district administration has faced criticism from protestors regarding a First Information Report (FIR) that was lodged in connection with violence during the march towards the state assembly on August 10.

The protests are compounded by a separate issue concerning a headmaster's transfer. Reports indicate that the headmaster was ordered to report back to his original school, prompting further unrest and road blockages as students express their grievances. This situation represents a convergence of academic concerns and administrative decisions affecting the local student community.
