The Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms and Official Language of Jharkhand withdrew a notification issued on December 24, 2021. In this, these two languages of matriculation and intermediate level were allowed to appear in the recruitment examinations of district-level posts conducted by the Jharkhand State Staff Selection Commission. On Friday, the Soren government withdrew the notification through a new order. People of both the districts are agitating under ‘Jharkhandi Bhasha Bachao Sangharsh Samiti’ that these languages are not widely spoken in this region.
