Patna: Several job aspirants, under the banner of the Bihar Students' Union, staged a protest in Patna on Friday demanding the implementation of a domicile policy for all state govt jobs.
The demonstration, led by student activist Dileep Kumar, began with a procession from Patna College and was stopped by police at J P Roundabout near Gandhi Maidan.
Dileep Kumar was briefly detained and police cleared the demonstrators from the road after a minor scuffle. He was released two hours later.
Protesters carried banners with slogans such as "Bihar wants domicile", "Release vacancy for BPSC TRE 4.0 with domicile" and "Bihari vote, outsiders take jobs? No more".
They called for a 100% domicile quota in BPSC TRE and a 90% quota for all other state govt jobs with the remaining 10% open to both in-state and out-of-state candidates. They also demanded the immediate release of the TRE 4.0 vacancies under the proposed policy and urged the completion of the recruitment process before the upcoming elections.
The procession moved through Musallahpur, Bhikhna Pahari and Bakarganj before being halted at J P Roundabout, where police had erected barricades.

Protesters had planned to gherao the CM's residence.
"We demanded a meeting with the CM, but were stopped at J P Roundabout," said Dileep Kumar. "The youth of Bihar have the first right to jobs in the state. I was detained to suppress the demand for domicile, but this protest will not end. If our demands are not met, we will call for a statewide bandh," he added.
The group had held similar protests on June 5 and July 2, during which a delegation met chief secretary Amrit Lal Meena. Protesters warned they would not vote for the govt if the domicile policy is not implemented before the elections.
