The Jharkhand students' protest over alleged recruitment and examination irregularities continues in Ranchi, with student leader and JLKM leader Devendra Nath Mahato saying he has resumed drinking water but will continue his indefinite hunger strike.
Mahato revealed that Sonam Wangchuk reached out after learning that he had stopped consuming both food and water. According to Mahato, Wangchuk shared his own experience of fasting during his protest at Jantar Mantar, where he consumed water but abstained from food, and urged him to do the same.
