All 3 JPSC Members Quit Amid CID Summons; Jharkhand Governor Accepts Resignations

Three members of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) have resigned, with their departures accepted by Jharkhand Governor Santosh Gangwar. Ajita Bhattacharya, Anima Hansda, and Jamal Ahmed stepped down on Sunday, following over two weeks of protests concerning alleged irregularities in the JPSC and JSSC recruitment examinations.

The resignations come as the government has pledged a "two-pronged" approach to tackle the issues. This strategy includes the establishment of fast-track courts and the formation of a committee tasked with identifying necessary reforms for the examination processes.

The Jharkhand Public Service Commission is responsible for recruiting candidates for various state government services. Allegations of irregularities in its examinations have led to significant public outcry and protests, culminating in these high-profile resignations.
