Protesters in Jharkhand have begun a hunger strike demanding answers over long‑standing delays and leaked documents, citing years of frustration with government processes.
The hunger strike, started on Monday, sees thousands of Jharkhand residents holding signs demanding swift action from the state government.
The protesters allege that their grievances—ranging from delayed land allotments to the leak of sensitive papers—have been ignored for years.
They seek a formal inquiry into the alleged mishandling of documents and a clear timeline for the completion of pending projects.
Police have deployed crowd control measures, but the demonstrators remain steadfast, hoping to force the administration to address their concerns.
