In a shocking incident raising serious concerns over student safety, several Class X students were reportedly transported on a tractor to their Matriculation examination centre in Odisha’s Kandhamal district. A video of the students travelling in the tractor has gone viral on social media, triggering widespread criticism.

The incident has come to light from the K Nuagaon area of Kandhamal district. According to reports, class X students of PM Shri High School travelled by tractor to reach Kudutuli High School, which had been designated as their examination centre.

What has further intensified the controversy is the alleged absence of any accompanying guide teacher or school staff during the journey. The students were reportedly left to travel on their own, without supervision, thereby putting their lives at risk.
