SSC Protest Jantar Mantar: Widespread protests broke out across the country on Thursday over alleged mismanagement in the ongoing SSC Selection Post Phase 13 recruitment exam, with aspirants and teachers converging at Jantar Mantar under a "Delhi Chalo" call to demand accountability and reform in the process. Protesters alleged administrative lapses, technical failures, and the use of force by police against peaceful demonstrators. The exam, which began on July 24 and is scheduled to conclude on August 1, has seen numerous complaints of abrupt cancellations, server crashes, unresponsive systems, and remote exam centres, located as far as 500 km from candidates' homes.
