The NEET paper leak controversy takes another dramatic turn as the Centre replaces Higher Education Secretary Vineet Joshi with Naresh Pal Gangwar in a major bureaucratic reshuffle amid growing public anger. The move comes alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s announcement of fast-track courts for paper leak cases and stricter action against those responsible. Meanwhile, social activist Sonam Wangchuk ends his 26-day hunger strike after meeting Union Ministers JP Nadda and Dr. Jitendra Singh. However, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) says its protest at Delhi`s Jantar Mantar will continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. CJP leader Dipke reiterates that the movement remains peaceful and announces fresh talks with the Centre.
