Use of loudspeakers restricted in Chandpur amid SSC exams

The Chandpur district administration restricted the use of loudspeakers so that they do not create any disturbance for the examinees of the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and its equivalent exams.

While the exams are ongoing, loudspeakers may be used as long as their use is limited - especially when used in personal spaces - and they do not hamper the studies of the students, according to sources at the district administration office.

Examinees and their guardians expressed relief as the locals, until now, have been abiding by the new rule, which promises strict punishment if breached.
