A day after the central government announced to promote Class X students without conducting examinations, owing to Covid-19 pandemic, schools and parents are now in a fix over the procedure for assessment of marks.
While the decision was welcomed by many students, there are few who are also worried about their percentile. Schools and officials meanwhile are waiting for CBSE guidelines, however they are also view that the assessment should be made on some concrete basis.
“The whole exercise (cancelling the examinations) has been unnecessary. Out of 100, only handful of students would be happy with the decision. Also, there are many students, who skipped their pre-boards and other internal examinations and this process, now how would we assess their performance,” said HS Mamik, President, Independent School Association (ISA) Chandigarh.

Ludhiana: A fortnight after serving shopkeepers notices for removing encroachments, the police have started cracking down on the violators. The cops, on Tuesday, also registered FIRs against the encroachers, most of whom were street vendors, a few were shopkeepers and some were those who parked their vehicles on roads. But there are some stretches where there has been no change.
Under the anti-encroachment drive, the Ludhiana Police aims to cover 100 roads. Even as Dugri Road from Atam Nagar Chowk to Dugri canal is on the list, there is hardly any change there. Dugri Road has a car market, which includes shops selling car accessories and car workshops. Even after 17 days of the drive, the police have failed to make even a small difference on the road, which witnesses traffic chaos every day.
