Data repair: Correct classification and map fields after source and location audit.
- Ended
Data repair: The stored status 'resolved' implies the dispute was settled, but August 19-20 reporting says organisers suspended/called off the 26-day sit-in after government concessions while giving a 60-day ultimatum and warning agitation could resume. The completed sit-in should therefore be recorded as ended, not resolved.
- Resolved
Job aspirants ended a 26-day agitation after the Jharkhand government cancelled the disputed recruitment examination and agreed to further action on alleged irregularities.
