Another ‘satyagraha’ to be launched in Dharwad over recruitment
Activists in Dharwad have threatened to launch a 'satyagraha' protest if the government does not initiate a delayed recruitment process by June 9. The protest is organized by student and bar associations frustrated by the lack of progress on job openings.
