Breakdown of Bus Causes Delays for Candidates

Many candidates from Banswara were traveling to Udaipur by a roadways bus to take the exam at their designated center. Unfortunately, around noon, the bus broke down near the Jaisamand police checkpoint due to a technical issue. This breakdown prevented the candidates from arriving on time for the exam.

The candidates shared their frustration as they waited for other buses at the Jaisamand bus stand. They needed to report to the exam center between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM for the second shift. By the time they reached Jaisamand town, it was already 1:00 PM, forcing them to return home without taking the exam.

Increased Traffic Load on Local Routes

Due to the exam, the Roadways operated 76 buses to accommodate the candidates. Around 7,000 candidates traveled to various centers. The highest traffic was on the Banswara route, where 25 buses were operated. The distribution of buses on other routes included:

  • Dungarpur Route:22 buses
  • Pratapgarh Route: 9 buses
  • Sirohi Route: 12 buses
  • Abu Road Route:8 buses
