Concerns Over Recruitment Process Fatalities
Twelve deaths during a recent constable recruitment process in Jharkhand have raised significant concerns about the safety and health protocols in place. The tragic incidents occurred during a physically demanding 10-kilometre run, where aspirants reportedly collapsed, leading to fatalities shortly after completing the test.
