Deputy Director of Pre-University in Dakshina Kannada to meet experts today
The Deputy Director of Pre-University Department in Dakshina Kannada Jayanna will hold a meeting with subject experts on Monday and submit a report to the Department Director Snehal R. on out-of-syllabus questions asked in the English paper of the II PU mid-term examination in the district on Saturday.
Ms. Snehal told The Hindu that action will be taken against persons who were responsible for such questions as each district had different question papers and they were not uniform.
Preeti S., a II PU student from the city college, said that there were questions of about 15 marks that were from the syllabus that was not prescribed for the mid-term examination. Vijay K., another student, said there were some questions that were difficult to comprehend. “We hope the department will award marks for us and take action on those responsible for the same,” he said.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
