Students staged a protest at the Income Tax roundabout in Patna to press for their demands. Police had to use water cannons to disperse the protesting students. The demonstration was organized by various student organizations, who were protesting against their long-pending demands and government policies. The students alleged that the government was not paying attention to their issues, forcing them to take to the streets. Police had erected barricades to prevent the protesters from advancing, but when students attempted to breach them, police resorted to using force. The incident disrupted traffic at the roundabout for some time and created a tense atmosphere. Students have warned that they will intensify their agitation if their demands are not met.
