BHUBANESWAR: Police said they used water cannons to disperse thousands of youth protesters as they marched on the state legislature in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand on Monday to protest against alleged wrongdoing in the state’s civil services examinations.
Students and unemployed youth in Jharkhand, one of India’s poorer states, launched protests late last month over alleged wrongdoing in state public service recruitment examinations, including test question paper leaks.
