BJP MLAs disrupted the Jharkhand assembly proceedings on Tuesday with protests over alleged paper leaks in state board exams, demanding a CBI investigation into the matter.

Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahato requested members to maintain decorum, noting that the issue was already discussed outside the House. Meanwhile, BJP's Hatia MLA Naveen Jaiswal spotlighted a separate issue of sand shortages, affecting housing initiatives like the PM Awas Yojana.
