The agitation has continued since then. Students were creating. Finally, the government took cognisance of this and we thank them for this. The government took a decision in our favour. We had two demands, for PCS and for RO/ARO. 100% of demands regarding PCS have been accepted. But there was a little confusion regarding RO/ARO. They then formed a committee for it. When the decision of the committee comes, we will decide our further course of action. As of now, we have called off our protest…”

The protest has been completely called off..” he added.
