NCPCR asks CBSE for relaxation for children of slain CRPF jawans in Board exams
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) wrote to the CBSE on Friday seeking exemption from the upcoming board examinations and to make alternative arrangements for the children of the CRPF personnel killed in the Pulwama terror attack.
The NCPCR suggested that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) may issue a circular to schools affiliated with it to exempt children of the slain soldiers from the ongoing and upcoming exams.
A Jaish suicide bomber Thursday rammed a vehicle carrying over 100 kg of explosives into a bus carrying CRPF personnel in Pulwama district killing 40 jawans.
NCPCR chairman Priaynk Kanoongo in the letter said, "This is a time of grief and pain for the entire nation and demands our support for their families in best of our abilities."
