Lockdown on September 12 has been lifted in view of NEET 2020 examination scheduled on September 13. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to Twitter to make the announcement.
“Considering the NEET 2020 examination scheduled on 13th, we have received numerous requests from the student community on lifting lockdown norms on 12th, helping ease their travel to examination centres,” the CM wrote.
Keeping their interest in mind, while keeping the statewide lockdown as it is on Sep 11th, it has been decided to cancel the lockdown on 12th, so that the students can attend the examination on 13th without any apprehensions or concerns. I wish them all the very best. (2/2)
