Job seekers under the banner of Sarbadaliya Chhatra Oikya Parishad staged demonstrations in the city’s Nilkhet intersection Sunday morning demanding extension of age limit to apply for the government jobs.
When they gathered there at 10.30 am to press home their various demands including extension of age limit, police asked them to leave the place.
