February 25, 2017

Mangaluru, Feb 25: Amid call for a district-wide ‘hartal’ by Sangh Parivar, the I Pre-University annual examination held on Saturday in Dakshina Kannada as scheduled.

However, some students from remote areas could not reach the exam centres on time due to lack of buses in the morning. K R Thimmaiah, DDPU, DK said that as per primary reports around 100 to 150 students could not make it to the exams due to unavailability of transport facility.

Kumar, Additional Deputy Commissioner and Additional District Magistrate, said that 17,315 students were expected to appear for the examination in 124 colleges across the district.

The district administration has made adequate security arrangements in the wake of protests by Hindutva outfits against Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s Mangaluru visit.
