Congress leader calls for caution in view of surge in COVID-19 cases
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in a letter to Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, has urged him to reconsider the government’s decision to conduct the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Board examinations given the surge in cases in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the letter, which she also tweeted, Ms. Vadra said it was shocking that despite the massive and uncontrolled rise in COVID-19 cases across the country and over 1 lakh new cases coming to light on a daily basis, the CBSE Board had issued a circular stating it was going ahead with the Board exams scheduled in May.
