Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha march today is the top student-politics story on Google for August 10, 2026. In Ranchi, JPSC–JSSC aspirants moved from a long sit-in into a planned Assembly march after more than two weeks of agitation over alleged exam irregularities and paper leaks.
Police put the city on high alert. Prohibitory orders stayed in force around the Assembly. And overnight political pressure rose after three members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission resigned.
What is happening in Ranchi today?
Student groups called a Vidhan Sabha march / gherao for Monday, August 10. The protest, which began after disputes around the 14th JPSC Civil Services Preliminary results and wider JSSC/JPSC recruitment trust issues, has entered its 17th day. Several aspirants remain on hunger strike.
Ranchi Police said they were “fully prepared,” with precautionary deployment and an appeal for a peaceful, disciplined demonstration. A prohibitory order within about 750 metres of the Vidhan Sabha (from August 6–12, 6 am–10 pm) remains a key flashpoint for how close the march can get.
Why students say talks are still not enough
The government held multiple rounds of dialogue. Student leaders say the state signalled willingness to consider cancelling three exams — the 14th JPSC and JPSC backlog papers of 2023 and 2025 — but aspirants argue that falls short of a full clean-up.
Core demands still include:
- A CBI investigation (many reject a CID-only probe as insufficient)
- Cancellation of disputed recruitment exams, including contested JPSC/JSSC papers
- Action against alleged leak networks and “mafia”
- Transparency: category-wise cut-offs, OMR copies, response sheets
- A clear recruitment calendar on the lines of UPSC/SSC
Students say resignations and partial exam cancellations are not a substitute for an independent CBI probe.
JPSC resignations: what changed overnight?
On Sunday, reports said Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar accepted the resignations of three JPSC members — named in coverage as Ajeeta/Ajita Bhattacharya, Anima Hansda and Jamal Ahmad/Ahmed. The resignations followed CID summons linked to alleged irregularities, including paper-leak suspicions.
For searchers asking “JPSC members resign today,” this is the breakthrough headline — but protesters insist commission exits do not automatically restore exam integrity.
