Recruitment ‘scam’ protest: SSC aspirants refuse to call off strike

The headquarters of one of the country's largest recruiting agencies, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), is under siege for almost a week. On Saturday, a metro station was shut down and security tightened as an agitation gained momentum demanding cancellation of a recruitment exam and a CBI probe into an alleged paper leak. Hundreds of government job aspirants, who sat for the Combined Graduate Level Examination (tier-2) between February 17 and 22, are protesting outside the CGO complex, that houses the SSC headquarters.
