> In Bihar’s capital Patna, thousands of students and unemployed young people demanding jobs and transparency in recruitment exams broke through security barricades while marching toward the chief minister’s residence. Police used water cannons and batons, detaining at least 25 protesters before releasing them. The protests later expanded to include education reform.
