A girl student who injured her right hand in an accident was allowed to appear with a writer for the Madhyamik (secondary board) Examination today following intervention by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Pooja Dolui of the Vidya Bharati School was not allowed to take her examination with a writer when she appeared and was asked to follow the formalities.
Dolui, who injured her right hand in a motorcycle accident recently while riding pillion, immediately rushed to the residence of the chief minister and narrated her plight after which necessary arrangements were made for her, Information and Cultural Affairs Secretary Atri Bhattacharya said.
Dolui would also be allowed to appear in the examination on subsequent days in a similar way, Bhattacharya said.
The chief minister also intervened in the case of some students at Khejuri in East Midnapore district, who were injured in a car accident.
Special arrangements were made for them to appear in the examination from hospital.
