On August 9, 2026, the Jharkhand government will hold fresh talks with protesting students for the 16th day over alleged recruitment exam irregularities. Talks failed to break deadlock after four rounds on August 8. Student leader Devenedra Nath Mahto's health deteriorated due to a hunger strike. The JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch accused the government of "political manoeuvring." Protests will continue until demands are met, with plans for marches if no resolution is reached by Sunday.
