A CORRESPONDENT

TANGLA: The activists of Udalguri district committee of Satra Mukti Sangram Samiti (SMSS), along with a number of HSLC and HS examinees, staged a human chain protest in Tangla town of Udalguri district demanding a roll back of the government's evaluation formula for HSLC and HS examinations this year under SEBA and AHSEC in Assam.

Addressing the gathering, convener of SMSS Udalguri chapter, Indraneel Deka said, "The government has devised an evaluation procedure for the HSLC and HS examinees this year but it is quite astonishing as the mark sheets will only be valid for getting admissions in higher institutions and not securing jobs. Such a strange decision has put the student fraternity in a great dilemma."

Zubeen Nath, a HS examinee said, "The government has taken an arbitrary decision which has pushed the students' future to the edge of uncertainty." Another student, Manab Jyoti Talukdar said, "The government must roll back the decision and take the stakeholders of the society into confidence before minting out any fresh decisions."
