Jharkhand ministers fail to convince Mahto to call off hunger strike
Student leader Devendra Nath Mahto revealed that Jharkhand Cabinet ministers reached out via video call, urging him to stop his ongoing indefinite hunger strike and promising that the protesters' requirements would be fulfilled. Mahto replied that his protest will persist until their demands are formally addressed in writing. He is currently fasting in solidarity with students who are demonstrating against alleged flaws in the state's recruitment examinations.
