Mangaluru :  An incident wherein Sangh Parivar activists assaulted a  young woman right in the presence of the police, has been reported from Pilikula Nisargadhama near Vamanjoor on the outskirts of the city on January 2, Tuesday.

The Sangh Parivar activists who had arrived at the spot on gathering information that students of a college  located on the outskirts of the city were making merry at the Pilikula Nisargadhama,  reportedly chased a young pair and took them to task.

By the time the  police rushed to the spot and took the young pair to custody, a Sangh Parivar activist reportedly assaulted the woman  in front of the cops themselves.. The  video clipping of the same has now gone viral on social networking sites.

There is widespread anguish against the assault on the young woman by the Parivar activists right in the presence of the police. There is also a grouse among members of the general public that the police have failed to launch a crack down on  the  vigilante forces in the Sangh Parivar outfits who have been unleashing fear through their immoral policing since the past few days.

New Delhi (PTI): The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Tuesday said that it neither announces any merit list in Class 10 and 12 board exam results nor divisions are awarded to students to avoid any unhealthy competition.

The results for the Class 10 and 12 exams of the board were announced on Tuesday.

While over 93 per cent students cleared the Class 10 exams, the pass percentage in class 12 exams stood at 88.39 per cent. Girls outshone boys in both exams.

"As per an earlier decision by the board to avoid unhealthy competition amongst students, no merit list is prepared and declared by CBSE. Also, the board has not awarded first, second and third division to its students," CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said.

"The board will issue merit certificates to the top 0.1 pc students who have scored the highest marks in the subjects. The merit certificates will be available in Digi-Locker of the students concerned," Bhardwaj added.

CBSE merit lists were also not announced in 2020 and 2021 because the board adopted an alternate assessment scheme since some or all the papers were cancelled due to COVID-19. The board permanently discontinued the policy in 2022.
