In Bihar, the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has continued the protest of the candidates for the third consecutive day alleging rigging in the RRB NTPC CBT 2 and Group D CBT 1 examinations. At many places, students set fire to trains even today. Yesterday, there was a stir in Patna, Sitamarhi, Muzaffarpur, Ara, Buxar.
On Tuesday, in Sitamarhi, the mob that was vandalizing and pelting stones was removed by the police by firing in the air. Given the massive protests, the Railways had announced the postponement of the NTPC and Group D (Category-1) examinations on Wednesday morning. Still, even after the Railways’ decision, the students’ anger has not stopped, and there is a boil in the whole of Bihar.
