We have repeatedly tried speaking to them, as the Commission and its delegation are also ready to communicate but they rejected it and are not ready to communicate," Prayagraj DM said.
Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Wednesday assured support to protesting UP Public Service Commission aspirants, stating that the government is taking their demands seriously and has instructed officials to find a solution.
Speaking to ANI, Maurya said, "The government is taking the demands of the aspirants seriously... BJP stands with the students and youth. Instructions have been given to the officials to talk to the students and find a proper solution."
Students preparing for the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) on Wednesday held a candlelight march, marking the third consecutive day of protests outside the UPPSC building in Prayagraj.
The candidates are demanding that the UPPSC exams, specifically the Provincial Civil Services (PCS) and Review Officer/Assistant Review Officer (RO/ARO) exams, be conducted in a single shift, as was previously done. They believe this will make the process fairer and more manageable.
The protests began after UPPSC announced that the RO-ARO exams would be held over two days in multiple shifts. (ANI)
