This comes a day after Kashmir Private Schools Association (KPSA) Wednesday invoked the psychological stress of students while pleading with the government to shun its “ hard stance” of holding examinations this month as that could drive the children to suicidal tendencies .
There was pressure on government not to hold examinations in November as students have not been able to prepare well in view of unrest in Valley from July 08th this year.
