PATNA: The agitating students and police fought a pitched battle in the Bhikhna Pahadi area of Patna on Tuesday evening as the job aspirants continued their protests for the second consecutive day in different parts of the state over alleged erroneous results of the Railway Recruitment Board’s Non-Technical Popular Categories Exam.
Police had to fire tear gas shells and use water cannon on the agitators, who pelted stones on the cops. At several locations in Nalanda, Nawada, Buxar, Ara, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi and Motihari, the agitation became violent, resulting in the cancellation or diversion of several trains.
