Patna Student Protests Turn Violent: Police Deploy Water Cannons During March to CM Residence
Tensions escalated in Patna as hundreds of job aspirants and BPSC protesters marched from Gandhi Maidan toward the Chief Minister's residence, demanding the cancellation of the 70th BPSC examination and recruitment reforms.
Demonstrators breached heavy police barricades at key transit points like the Dak Bungalow crossing, prompting security forces to resort to water cannons, batons, and detentions.
While the state government announced monthly student grievance-redressal camps (Vidyarthi Sahyog Shivir) to address youth concerns, student groups have insisted on direct administrative accountability and formal talks regarding recruitment transparency.
