Students and parents are furious after the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) did not cancel or postpone the ongoing supplementary board exams on Thursday, despite the red alert for the city and suburbs due to the heavy rain.
Given the incessant rainfall that the city received on Wednesday and in anticipation of the heavy downpour predicted for Thursday, a holiday was declared for all private and government-run schools in Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Raigad. A circular to this effect was issued late on Wednesday evening by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and deputy director of school education. The holiday was declared for schools and junior colleges too.
