Chandigarh, May 15 (UNI) Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar on Thursday said that he supports the demand by border area students to postpone the UPSC prelims exams.
On his social media handle 'X' he wrote that keeping in view the severe adverse impact of tensions along the border during Operation Sindoor, he had raised the demand for a special economic package for Punjab during the all-party meeting convened by the Punjab Governor last week.
"The demand by students of border areas for postponement of UPSC prelims exams is also in line with the impact of the situation on the border recently," he said and added: "I fully support their demand and urge the Central Government and UPSC to favourably consider this to ensure equal opportunity to all students."
