Thane Autorickshaw Appeal: Ensuring Students Reach Exam Centres On Time

As Maharashtra's Class 12 board exams commence, concerns arise in Thane regarding students' timely arrival at test centers. The Nationalist Congress Party, represented by district president Manoj Pradhan, issued an appeal to autorickshaw drivers for support, urging them not to refuse rides due to severe traffic congestion impacting public transport efficiency.

Written appeals urge associations to instruct drivers on the significance of aiding students in this significant academic period.
