The activists demanded that the education department ensure copying-free examination of High School and Intermediate. They also demanded arrest of the copying mafia.
Under the leadership of Uday Narayan Pandey and Anil Singh, the activists took out a procession from the trans-Varuna area and after covering several areas, reached the District Headquarters where they staged a dharna in favour of their demands.
The activists alleged that education mafia was taking contracts from the parents of students to help their wards clear the examination with good marks, against a sum of Rs 10,000 to Rs 30,000. The activists also warned that if the district administration did not arrest the education mafia and so-called contractor of examination soon, the activists of the Sangh would stage a massive demonstration.
