Students beat Bush road jams

Students and parents had to wake up early on the first day of Boards, to reach the centres on time.

It was not just stress on the minds but also stress on the roads as Class X students and their parents woke up early on Thursday and made their way to various examination centres across the city.

Most of the examinees managed to reach the centres well in time, as they had kept a buffer time of over two hour to take care of any traffic hassles in the wake of US president George Bush’s visit.

Students started reaching the centres as early for the paper that was to begin at 10.30 am. “Starting at 8 am for the 10.30 pm was ridiculous, but my son was very anxious,” said Shabnam Chatterjee.
