Chaos erupted at an examination center in Bihar’s Gopalganj district during the annual Class 10 (matriculation) examination, leading to panic and questions about crowd management. The incident occurred when late-arriving candidates were denied entry as the gates were closed as per official instructions.
Confusion and anxiety heightened as many students arrived after the scheduled reporting time, with some attempting to climb over gates and walls to enter the venue. Videos of the commotion have circulated on social media, drawing criticism over the handling of the situation.
Authorities have demanded a detailed report from the center superintendent following the incident. Security measures have been bolstered at all examination centers to prevent further disruptions, with magistrates, police personnel, and additional surveillance deployed to maintain order.
Similar incidents were reported at exam centers in Patna and Muzaffarpur, raising concerns about logistical planning and crowd control during the board examinations.
