Pappu Yadav, the Independent MP from Purnia, called for a Bihar bandh today to support the demands of BPSC students. His supporters staged protests, raising slogans and attempting to close shops in the market, although the bandh's impact was minimal. In Purnia, protesters appealed to shopkeepers and drivers to shut down their businesses and vehicles, even distributing flowers. The protest, organized over the alleged injustice against BPSC students, saw some instances of vandalism. Yadav accused the government of corruption and selling exam seats, vowing to continue the protests until the issue is addressed.
