Aspirants of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam have been demonstrating in the national capital demanding a compensatory second attempt in light of the unprecedented situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aspirants claim that they have been unable to adequately prepare for the exam amidst the chaos of the pandemic; fighting COVID infections themselves, supporting their COVID-positive parents and having to prepare for the exam without adequate facilities.

Their chief demand is singular: to be heard. However, their demonstrations in Delhi have been met with detentions by the Delhi Police and no relief seems to be forthcoming. The Wire's Mukul Singh Chauhan speaks to the protesting students to understand the struggles they have gone through, their demands and the relief, if any, that they have been promised.
