Nagaland School Education Minister, Yitachu today appealed to agitators to allow peaceful conduct of Class XI and XII examination by the Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) starting from tomorrow.

Asked whether any special arrangements will be made for transportation of students to the examination centres, the minister said the responsibility should be shared by all stakeholders, including the parents and public so that the students can appear in the examinations in a peaceful atmosphere.
Around 17, 272 students will appear in the class XI examination and 15,472 in the XII examination conducted by the NBSE.
