On Sunday, the RHA Reform Platform staged a sit‑in at the Kute Maidan near Ranchi’s legislative assembly, calling for a review and amendment of the state’s reservation policy.
Ranchi, Jharkhand – The RHA Reform Platform organized a peaceful protest on Sunday at the Kute Maidan adjacent to the state assembly building. Activists gathered to demand a comprehensive review of Jharkhand’s reservation system, arguing that the existing framework requires substantive changes to ensure fairness and efficiency.
The demonstration, which lasted several hours, involved a sit‑in and the display of banners highlighting perceived gaps in the current policy. Organisers said the protest aims to pressure the state government to initiate a formal inquiry and consider reforms that address both merit and social equity.
Local authorities monitored the event but allowed it to proceed without incident, noting that the protest remained non‑violent and within legal bounds. The RHA Reform Platform has indicated that it will continue to engage with policymakers and the public to push for the proposed amendments.
The rally reflects growing public discourse in Jharkhand over reservation allocations, a topic that has periodically sparked debate across the state’s political and social spectrum.
