The SSC and its equivalent examinations, scheduled for Wednesday, have been shifted to February 27 due to the extension of the BNP-led alliance’s ongoing hartal by 48 hours. Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid announced the fresh date for the examinations at a press briefing at Circuit House here on Tuesday. The examinations will be held from 9 am to 12 pm on the day, he said. Earlier, the BNP-led 20-party alliance extended its ongoing 72-hour nationwide hartal by 48 hours till 6am Friday as part of its movement demanding a snap national election under a non-party administration and ‘restoration of democracy and people’s voting right and protesting government’s repressive acts’.— UNB, Dhaka.
