Exam centre changed; HS students block road & sits for protest in Cachar

March 7: Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) is going to start its Final examination from 15 March, 2022. Just a week ahead of the examination, students of Golak Chandra Higher Secondary School, Borjatrapur blocked the road and sat for protest demonstration. The students were protesting against the change of their exam centre by AHSEC.

Earlier, the students of Golak Chandra Higher Secondary School, Borjatrapur had their exam centre at Sirajul Ali Higher Secondary School. However, this year AHSEC shifted the exam centre of Golak Chandra school from Sirajul Ali to GC College, Silchar. That means, this year, the students of Golak Chandra Higher Secondary School, Borjatrapur shall have to appear in the ensuing HS Final exam from GC College, Silchar. This was vehemently opposed by the students of Golak Chndra HS School.

As a mark of protest, the students blocked the Silchar- Kalain road at Bhangarpar on Monday. After 2 to 3 hours later, CircleOfficer of Katigorah along with the local police came  to the spot and assured the agitating students that they would take up the matter with the education department and also sought two days time for it. Meanwhile, due to the road blockade, large number of vehicles got stranded on both sides of the road. Later on, at the assurance of the Circle Officer, the blockade was withdrawn. The students, however, made it clear that if in case their demand was not accepted, then they would launch a vigorous agitation.
