On Tuesday in Patna, hundreds of students and BPSC aspirants staged a protest, breaching police barricades to march towards the residence of Bihar's Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. The demonstrators are primarily demanding the cancellation of the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam due to alleged irregularities. The confrontation erupted when protesters removed barricades placed along their route, leading to clashes with police who were deployed to contain them. Police responded with lathicharge and water cannons in an attempt to disperse the crowd, but the students persisted in their march towards the Chief Minister's residence. Several agitators were detained as police moved to clear the protest site. The protest commenced around 10 am from Gandhi Maidan, with students chanting slogans as they approached the Chief Minister’s residence. As the student protest escalated, a farmers' group protesting over land-related issues joined in, carrying black flags, prompting the deployment of CRPF at the site. The students have been protesting for weeks in Patna, demanding a single-tier examination in BPSC-TRE 4, transparency in recruitment process, recruitment exams by the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC), and fair opportunities for Hindi-medium candidates. The protests occurred a day after student representatives held talks with the Bihar government. Although the discussions were described as positive, protesters decided to continue their agitation, announcing plans to march from Gandhi Maidan to the Chief Minister’s residence. Student leader Saurav Kumar stated that while the talks with the government had been positive, they would continue their agitation over their demands. The protesters demanded to meet either Bihar's Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary or the Education Minister and refused to engage with anyone else. In response to the protests, the Bihar government announced the launch of a monthly 'Vidyarthi Sahyog Shivir' (Student Support Camp) to address student grievances starting from the same day. The camps will be held at educational institutions on the fourth Tuesday of every month, allowing students to directly express their concerns with officials. Students can also register complaints online and track their status through a dedicated portal and helpline number 1100. This government outreach initiative comes amidst sustained protests across Bihar over examination-related grievances and demands for action on the 70th BPSC examination.
