PATNA: Tension prevailed in Patna on Tuesday as students protesting the 70th Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) examination broke through police barricades while marching from Gandhi Maidan towards Raj Bhavan, demanding cancellation of the exam.The protesters attempted to move into the restricted area despite police barricading the route. The demonstration came amid continuing concerns raised by students over the conduct of the 70th BPSC examination.DSP Kamakhya Narayan Singh said police would stop the protesters if they tried to move ahead, while expressing hope that the students would agree following talks with senior officials."We will stop them; we won't let them proceed further. However, the dialogue has been positive, and we hope the students will agree. They have raised several issues with the senior officials, and the outcome has been positive. So, I expect the turnout to be lower and that they will agree.
