In a tragic turn of events, eleven aspiring excise constables lost their lives while taking part in physical tests during a recruitment drive in Jharkhand. The police confirmed the unfortunate news on Sunday, leaving the entire state in shock and mourning.
The physical tests, which were part of the Jharkhand excise constable competitive examinations, began on August 22 in seven different centres across Ranchi, Giridih, Hazaribag, Palamu, East Singhbhum, and Sahebganj districts. However, things took a devastating turn when four candidates lost their lives in Palamu, while two each passed away in Giridih and Hazaribag. One candidate each lost their life in Ranchi's Jaguar centre, East Singhbhum's Mosabani centre, and Sahebganj centre, according to IG Amol V Homkar.
The police have registered cases of unnatural death and are conducting thorough investigations to determine the cause of these tragic incidents. As of now, a total of 1,27,772 aspirants appeared for the physical tests until August 30, out of which 78,023 were able to clear it, as per Homkar's statement.
In an effort to ensure the smooth conduct of the physical tests, Homkar mentioned that adequate arrangements were made at all centres. This included medical teams, necessary medications, ambulances, mobile toilets, and drinking water facilities. Despite these preparations, the deaths of these eleven candidates have left everyone questioning the management of the authorities.
Protests erupted in Ranchi's Albert Ekka Chowk as the BJP youth wing accused the JMM-led government of negligence, leading to these tragic losses of life. The entire state is in mourning and demands answers and accountability for these deaths. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper management and safety protocols during such events. Our hearts go out to the families of the deceased and we hope for a thorough investigation to bring justice to their loved ones.
