Student protests have intensified in Bihar following events in Delhi and Ranchi. On Tuesday morning, at the demonstration site in Gardanibagh, Patna, participants awaiting examinations, including the TRE-4 teacher recruitment, began a sit-in strike.
According to sources, the BPSC may publish the TRE-4 competition announcement this evening. It is believed that the Bihar government is trying to prevent large student unrest, similar to what occurred in Delhi and Jharkhand, and is preparing to release the announcement today to meet the students' main demands.
The protesters in Gardanibagh are led by student leader Dilip Kumar. Their main demand is the immediate release of the TRE-4 notification, the conduct of a one-stage exam, and the resignation of Education Minister Mitilesh Tiwari. A threat of besieging the legislative assembly was also issued if concrete steps are not taken within five days.
All attention is now focused on the BPSC and the Education Department. If the announcement appears this evening, the situation in Gardanibagh may change. However, the protesters remain vigilant, insisting on receiving an official notification rather than just promises.
The number of participants at the Gardanibagh demonstration site has been growing since the morning. Student leader Dilip Kumar stated that if the official announcement is not published by evening, the strike will be intensified. Many protesters emphasize that they need a concrete notification, not just assurances.
Sources claim that the government wants to make a decision soon, learning from the protests in Delhi and Jharkhand to avoid major disputes in Bihar. It is reported that discussions are underway between the BPSC and the Education Department. The situation by evening will determine whether the movement in Gardanibagh calms down or becomes more radical. The protesters maintain a watchful stance.
