Ranchi, Jharkhand: Students protesting over recruitment examination issues breached barbed-wire barricades and moved towards the Vidhan Sabha during their protest march.

Student protester Devendra Nath Mahto said, "The government will have to take a decision, otherwise students will continue to rise in protest like this. By putting up barbed-wire barricades, the government has invited confrontation. Despite being on hunger strike for nine days and in a condition that required hospitalisation, I could not stop myself. What hurt me the most was seeing the barbed-wire barricades."

Meanwhile, Dy SP Ranchi Arvind Kumar Verma said the protest was peaceful and appealed to the students to raise their demands peacefully.

"The students are protesting peacefully, and we will also handle the situation peacefully. Wherever there is an issue, they will be counselled and made to understand. They should put forward their demands before the government, but they should do so peacefully."
