Rushing Through Exam Centre Confusion
Board examinations are a nerve-wracking time for many students across the country. The last-minute rush to the examination centres, in particular, sees a lot of confusion and chaos. At such a time, a student identified as Nisha was dropped by her father at the wrong examination centre some 20 kilometres from her actual centre in Bhuj. It was only when she had checked with the examination block that she found that she was at the wrong centre. Panicking about the mistake, she broke down to tears at the block.
A police officer who was on duty saw her in tension. He enquired her and she said she was in wrong place. When the officer saw the address of her centre mentioned in hall ticket it was 20 Km away. So he decided to drop her in his police jeep with siren on.

Taking notice of the incident happening, the kind police officer rushed to assist Nisha. Inspector Dhola calmed her down and immediately took the service vehicle to take her to the right center. His presence of mind and timely action helped Nisha reach the centre just ten minutes before the exam.
With full speed they reached her correct school examination centre on time. Thanks to Police officer for helping her. There are many Good Police officers in our society 🙂👍🙏
