He also assured all the candidates and parents that their arrangements for reaching the examination centers and back to their district were made by the State Governments. They have been asked to do this by the central govt. He said that all the arrangements related to health security at the examination centers will be completed.
On the other hand, the meeting of the Chief Ministers of the 7 states, where the opposition parties rule, chaired by Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi, demanded the postponement of both the examinations from the Central Government. Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder singh said that this would increase the infection and endanger the lives of the children, while most of the children are from poor families and they have no arrangement to reach the examination centers.
