Three Aspirants Die in Jharkhand Recruitment Test

In Jharkhand, a tragic incident occurred during the physical tests for constable recruitment, resulting in the deaths of three candidates and the hospitalization of numerous others. The physical tests were conducted in conditions that led to at least 100 candidates fainting, with preliminary medical reports suggesting that breathlessness and potential use of sedatives contributed to the fatalities. Following these events, authorities have rescheduled the tests to start earlier in the morning to avoid extreme heat conditions. The state BJP has called for a judicial investigation, citing mismanagement, and demands for compensation for the families of the deceased. Chief Minister Hemant Soren has urged officials to address the situation promptly, as the recruitment process continues until September 9.
