To assist students who may face delays due to traffic congestion, vehicle breakdowns, or other road-related issues on exam days, the Traffic Police have deployed 54 riders across the city. These riders will be on standby to provide immediate assistance to students in distress. In addition, helpline numbers have been issued for the Traffic Control Room, WhatsApp assistance, and all 18 traffic units. Deputy Commissioner of Traffic Pankaj Shirsat has appealed to students to contact the Traffic Police helpline if they encounter any difficulties while travelling to their examination centres.
The Maharashtra State Secondary School Certificate (SSC – Class 10) examinations will begin on February 10, while the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC – Class 12) examinations will commence on February 20. Within the Thane Police Commissionerate limits, there are a total of 126 examination centres for Class 12 students and 223 centres for Class 10 students spread across Zones 1 to 5.
To support students travelling to these examination centres, 54 riders have been deployed on city roads.
