Protest over RRB results: Student unions call for ‘Bihar Bandh’ on Friday

The All India Students’ Association (AISA) and other youth organisations on Friday called on “Bihar Bandh” to protest against the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) NTPC Stage 1 exam results irregularities. Student groups have called the ministry’s move to set up a committee to investigate students’ concerns as a “hoax”.

The Ministry of Railways has announced the suspension of the Non-Technical Popular Category (NTPC) and Level 1 exams following mass protests by job seekers in Bihar and Jharkhand on Wednesday.

Protesters set fire to four bogies of a train in Gaya, Bihar state.

Here are the most important developments:

• AISA and other youth groups said in a press statement that the committee set up by the ministry was a “conspiracy” to delay the matter until elections in Uttar Pradesh.

• Despite reassurances from the government, they refuse to get caught up in what they say is a massive student youth movement and they face extreme unemployment.

• The Ministry of Railways has established a vocational committee to address issues raised by job seekers. Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said the panel would submit its report by March 4.

• Bihar police said railway property was damaged in Gaya, Jehanabad, Bhagalpur, Sasaram, Samastipur and Chhapra districts. Protesters also threw rocks at police.

• Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed support for protesters on Wednesday, saying he joined them in opposing the BJP government’s policies. However, he said violence was not the answer.
