Just 24 hours after the cabinet expansion, nearly 10,000 candidates took to the streets demanding an notification for the fourth phase of teacher recruitment (BPSC TRE 4.0). The protest, which began from Patna College, headed towards Dakbangla Square, bringing the entire city to a standstill.

There are three main reasons behind the protest. First, the candidates allege that the government is dragging the TRE 3 process, while millions of students are awaiting the TRE 4 notification. The students' second demand is that the government make public the exact number of vacancies. And the third is that they are demanding that the 'domicile policy', which prioritizes local youth from Bihar in teacher recruitment, be strictly enforced.
