On Wednesday evening, these students had protested by taking out a candle march.An agitating student, Gyanendra Kumar, said until their demands are not met, they will continue the protest, whether it lasts a week or several weeks.”We are taking out a candle march against the adamant attitude of the commission,” he said.UPPSC Secretary Ashok Kumar had earlier said, “The commission’s guideline is that only government educational institutions should be made examination centres and the centre should be within 10 kilometers of the headquarters.Earlier, when the paper leaked, these students raised the demand that private institutions should not be made examination centres.” “These students are protesting when the government made guidelines after considering the demands of the students. For the PCS exam, 5,76,000 candidates are registered while centres are being found only for 4,35,000 candidates in all 75 districts. In such a situation, conducting the examination for two days is a compulsion,” he said.The students sitting on the dharna in front of the gate of the Public Service Commission had placards with different slogans written in their hands.One of them read “Batenge Nahi, Hatnenge Nahi, Nyay Milne Tak Ek Rahenge”, while another one read “Ek Din, Ek Pariksha”.The commission has declared the dates of December 7 and 8 for the PCS preliminary exam, while December 22 and 23 have been declared for the RO and ARO preliminary exam.
