Jharkhand Agrees To Students' Key Demand But Protesters Firm On CBI Probe

The Hemant Soren government in Jharkhand has cancelled all exams and recruitment conducted by Lucknow-based TDPL (TSR Data Processing Private Limited) after weeks of protests by students. The JPSC (Jharkhand Public Service Commission) and the JSSC CGL (Jharkhand Staff Selection Committee-Combined Graduate Level) exams will be cancelled as well, the Chief Minister said. 

"The results published by the TDPL, and all the candidates selected by the TDPL, or who participated, and all the activities of the TDPL that have taken place here, all of them should be cancelled," Soren said.

"All the mistakes, big or small, that have occurred since 2014 will be investigated. The CID will probe all exams held in Jharkhand since 2014," Soren told the students this evening.

"We have decided to constitute a committee for reforms under the chairmanship of our IAS officer, Mr. Amitabh Kaushal," he added.
