Ravindra Paswan, leader of the JPSC-JSSC Reform Manch, said protests would continue despite Hemant Soren announcing on August 18, 2026, the cancellation of Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission-Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) exams and other recruitment tests since 2014 due to alleged irregularities. The government formed a committee under IAS officer Amitabh Kaushal for examination reforms but did not meet protesters' demand for a CBI probe. Student leader Devendra Nath Mahto ended his 16-day hunger strike after the announcement.
