Huge protests continued for the second consecutive day in many cities across the country, including Delhi, over alleged mismanagement in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Selection Post Phase 13 recruitment exam. Several students and teachers gathered outside the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Friday seeking reform and accountability in the process. A day ago, students had gathered at Jantar Mantar shooting slogans and demanding overhaul in the way SSC functions. Police, who were present at the scene, tried to convince students to stop protesting, but soon violence erupted, and teachers and other protesters were detained.
