New Delhi: The NEET protest movement entered a new phase as the Union government combined political outreach with administrative action, including talks with protesters, approval of stricter anti-paper leak measures and proposed legislation. The Union Government of India agreed to meet three demands of Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Friday. CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashuthosh Ranka held talks with Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh as part of the government's discussion outreach to end the stir. The government agreed to give ₹1 crore compensation to the families of students died by suicide and withdraw cases against CJP protesters. While the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) welcomed some assurances, it reiterated that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation remained its primary demand.

Addressing the media, CJP chief Abhijeet Dipke declared that the agitation would continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan submits his resignation.

Meanwhile, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has ended his indefinite hunger strike after Union ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh assured him that the government would consider his key demands, including not registering cases against CJP protesters.
