Hunger strike for asking the UPSC to declare the cut-off marks

Six civil service aspirants tonight went on an indefinite hunger strike asking the UPSC to declare the cut-off marks and the marks they secured in preliminary examinations.

The aspirants began their hunger strike near Batra Cinema in Mukherjee Nagar.

"We want justice. We want the UPSC to be transparent," said Angesh, one of the protestors.

The aspirants, who did not clear the prelims for which the results were declared earlier this month, demanded that the UPSC should come out with the cut-off marks for this year's preliminary examinations.

They also demanded that the marks secured for preliminary examinations be published.

A group of students had on Sunday staged a candle-light vigil at Jantar Mantar in this regard.
