While as, little transport mover here to there in some civil line areas. However, students continue to suffer.
"I live on the outskirts of the Srinagar city and my exam centre is almost 10 kilo meters away from my home. So I have to ask for lift and have to walk even few kilometers as there is no sign of public transport", said Majid, a student.
He added that not everyone has their private transport and these auto rickshaw drive charges more than enough. Yes the government has provided Transport Road Corporation (TRC) buses, but they are very less in numbers and more buses should be provided.
Not only student, parents are also suffering as they accompany with their wards to the exam centre.
I cannot let my daughter to go for the exam centre in such condition. Her exam center is too far and there is no transport. So I accompany her to the centre. It was her second paper today, we asked our neighbor to drop us, which was quite embarrassing, said a parent.
