Protest in Buxar

However, allegations of irregularities have been levelled against the recruitment process in the district. Several youth excluded from the recruitment have accused the irregularities. The youth claim that there are discrepancies in the selection process. According to the candidates, some candidates were disqualified on the grounds of being just one or two seconds short of completing the race, despite finishing the run on the ground. This led to protests by the youth.
