The Jharkhand High Court has stayed the cancellation of several recruitment exams, including JSSC CGL, CDPO, JPSC, and Food Safety Officer exams, which were previously ordered by the Hemant Soren government. This decision temporarily reverses the government's earlier directive.

Five more arrests have been made in connection with the ongoing Jharkhand protests against exam irregularities, as students express willingness to engage in dialogue with the Soren government, with the protests entering their 12th day.

Students in Jharkhand have suspended their 26-day protest but issued a two-month ultimatum to the Soren government, demanding action on their grievances.

Student leaders in Jharkhand are scheduled to meet with the Soren government today in an attempt to break a deadlock, though the specific issues under discussion are not detailed.
