UPSC aspirants in Old Rajendra Nagar have been protesting for two weeks, seeking firm assurances for the restoration of their livelihood. Despite verbal assurances from authorities about revitalising the area, the protesters remain resolute in their demands, insisting on written commitments before ending their protest.

While the intensity of the protests by UPSC aspirants in Old Rajendra Nagar has subsided, their determination to improve conditions for future aspirants remains strong. They aim to ensure that those who follow in their footsteps have access to better study environments and living conditions within the area.

To continue the protest, aspirants from ORN have created and distributed ID cards to the group of students participating in the protest. These cards have been issued to 30 students. If two students are absent, others will take their place, ensuring that 30 students are always present. The ID cards also serve to restrict entry to activists from other student unions who might attempt to hijack the protest or politicise it. This system ensures the protest remains focused and free from external influence.
