About 100 forest department recruitment candidates  who were protesting over the CBRT (Computer-Based Responsive Testing) results  at the Ram Katha Maidan in Gandhinagar were detained by police early this morning.

 The results for the 823 Beat Guards in forest department were announced last week by the Gujarat Secondary Service Selection Board (GSSSB), prompting a state-wide protest by the candidates who thought they were wronged by the CRBT method. Petitions and presentations were also made before the candidates gathered at the Ramkatha Maidan  on Aug 5.

Notably, the candidates did not have the permission to protest. A tight police watch was kept throughout the protests on Aug 5.

Today, a call for wider protest was made, and candidates from across the state were asked to join the protest. However, the protestors, who slept in the open field on the rainy night, were detained by the police early morning, and were taken to State Reserve Police Force - SRPF Ground in Magodi.
