Despite medical treatment, Mahto has maintained his demand to continue the protest. He has now asked the civil surgeon to allow him to leave the hospital. He wants to return to the protest venue and continue his hunger strike. Meanwhile, officials have not indicated whether they will approve his request. His health remains a major concern amid the ongoing agitation.

The Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha leader has linked his protest to students’ recruitment concerns. Students have raised questions about the conduct and fairness of several recruitment examinations. They have also demanded action over alleged irregularities. Therefore, Mahto’s hunger strike has become part of the wider student movement. The protest has drawn attention to recruitment issues across Jharkhand.

Mahto’s request now puts his health and the students’ demands at the centre of the dispute. Medical officials must assess whether he can safely leave the hospital. At the same time, protesters want the government to address their concerns. The administration faces pressure to respond to the allegations and student demands. Further developments will depend on Mahto’s health and the authorities’ decision.
