The protesters, including students and civil society members, remain at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, demanding accountability over alleged examination irregularities and reaffirming their commitment to the movement.

Protest leaders said the agitation will continue until their demands are addressed, with solidarity growing through planned demonstrations and public participation across the country. (PC: PTI)
