Chandigarh/Karnal, July 28 -- Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday credited the smooth conduct of the common eligibility test (CET) to the collective efforts of government officials and employees across the state. Describing the exam as a "festival of organisation," he said the seamless execution reflected the teamwork of the state machinery. Saini was speaking to the media in Panchkula after attending Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly "Mann Ki Baat" broadcast at the BJP headquarters, Panchkamal. On the CET, Saini said that comprehensive arrangements were made to ensure a stress-free experience for candidates. Meanwhile, as per reports, social and religious organisations arranged food, water, and accommodation for examinees in different districts. In Kaithal, camps were set up in government schools and college where tea, water and food was provided to those going for the exam. Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) chairperson Himmat Singh was in Rohtak to review transport facilities for candidates. A government spokesperson said that Singh posed as a candidate and make a call to "112" for assistance. He received a prompt response. Two candidates who mistakenly reached Rania instead of Sirsa exam centres were safely dropped off by the police after a quick helpline call. Candidates across districts praised the arrangements. Community participation also stood out. In Karnal, local families near the Western Bypass set up a cold-water chabeel for commuting candidates, many of whom had travelled from Jind. In Kurukshetra, the transport department arranged a temporary bus stand at Thanesar grain market, complete with drinking water, toilets, a help desk, and a community kitchen. However, candidates who arrived directly at exam centres with belongings found it difficult to find safe storage for mobile phones and bags. At Guru Nanak Girls School in Karnal, candidate Rinki Kumari said she spent nearly 30 minutes searching for a place to store her bag and phone, eventually locating a nearby shop offering the service. Meanwhile, Haryana transport minister Anil Vij lauded the commitment of officers and employees across departments, especially those who had been on duty since early morning. Rohtak DC Dharmender Singh reprimanded exam officials at Saini Boys Senior Secondary School for barring female candidates from wearing dupattas during CET. The school staff had reportedly instructed women to leave their dupattas outside the exam centre, prompting objections from several candidates....
