With Maharashtra SSC exams set to begin on February 21, authorities are taking special measures to ensure students reach their examination centres on time. From prioritising students on buses to monitoring train schedules and managing city traffic, multiple agencies have stepped in to minimise delays and disruptions.
Sudas Sawant, PRO of BEST, said, “Our traffic department has issued a circular instructing drivers, conductors, and inspection staff to ensure SSC students are given priority during their exams. The circular directs ground staff, drivers, conductors, and inspectors to divert buses whenever possible so that students reach their examination centres on time.”
