Curated summary

Jharkhand’s government moved to defuse a prolonged student protest by agreeing to cancel the 14th JPSC prelims, JPSC Backlog 2023 and JPSC Backlog 2025, while also promising CID probes, fast-track courts and chargesheets within 90 days. Chief minister Hemant Soren resumed talks after three failed rounds, and education minister Sudivya Kumar said the government had met 98 percent of demands. Students rejected the proposed oversight committee and are still pressing for stronger accountability.
