Vice president Boro also said after creation of BTC in 2003 three more new districts had been created bifurcating the old districts – Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri with a view to give better administrative governance and speedy development of the region.
But it remains as a part of negligence and ignorance that there are no examination centre listed in all those three districts in the last one decade for all the competitive examinations conducted by the APSC.
As a result, students of the concerned districts situated in remote areas are facing critical days in attending all those examinations in the district headquarters.
