The district administration has also made special arrangements to ply government buses to help candidates reach the examination centres on time. The Chief Educational Officer has been entrusted with the responsibility of making convenient seating arrangements and providing basic amenities at the examination centres. The electricity department has been requested to provide uninterrupted power supply to examination centres and the district treasury and sub-treasuries, which maintain the examination materials.
