CBSE परीक्षा आने वाली है जिनमें 6 लाख बच्चे परीक्षा में बैठेंगे, 1 लाख टीचर्स इसमें शामिल होंगे। ऐसे में बहुत बड़े स्तर पर संक्रमण फैल सकता है। हमारे लिए बच्चों की सुरक्षा बहुत ज़रुरी है, केंद्र से मेरी अपील है कि CBSE की परीक्षा को रद्द कर कोई और विकल्प अपनाया जाए। pic.twitter.com/2yFi2XmG2Q Warning that conducting the exams may contribute to the large-scale spread of the virus, he said the centres could emerge as major hotspots. "Six lakh children in Delhi are going to write CBSE exams. Nearly one lakh teachers will be a part of it. These (the centres) can become major hotspots leading to large-scale spreading of corona. Children's lives and health are very important to us. I request the Centre to cancel the CBSE exams," he said at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
