In Ranchi, protesters demanding action against recruitment exam irregularities clashed with police forces. Attempting to breach barricades to reach the state assembly, they faced water cannons and lathi charges. Many demonstrators reported injuries during the unrest near Jagannathpur Temple. This protest marked its seventeenth day, coinciding with the Chief Minister's birthday, as the government maintains that most of the protesters' demands have been addressed, a claim challenged by the activists.
