Earlier, thousands of students are staging protests against the Maharashtra government’s decision to conduct Class 10, 12 board exams in offline mode. While protests at Jalgaon and Aurangabad remained peaceful, it turned violent in Mumbai and Nagpur, with some students damaging private and police vehicles by pelting stones and blocking roads.
The students allege that amid the scare of the third wave of Covid-19, the government should conduct online exams considering the safety of students.
The Maharashtra government, meanwhile, has said that it is unwilling to reconsider its decision to hold offline exams. It has also given orders to initiate an inquiry into the state-wide protests.
